This Weekend: Wine & Beer Tastings, plus a Sherry…
Hello Peter,
Kick off the weekend with us this Friday for a tasting featuring Jarad and a lineup of fresh, expressive wines alongside Virginia craft beers. From crisp Sauvignon Blanc and vibrant rosé to silky Mencía and rich red blends, there’s something for every palate—plus local favorites from Aslin and The Veil pouring on the beer side.
Last call for this Sunday’s Lustau Sherry Master Class led by brand ambassador Steven Dragun. You’ll taste six distinct sherry expressions from one of Spain’s most iconic producers, each paired with a personal charcuterie box to highlight the depth and versatility of these historic wines. Whether you’re new to sherry or already a fan, this $55 guided tasting offers a fun, approachable deep dive into the category. Space is limited—reserve your spot today.
And save the date for next weekend’s SpringFest Wine Tasting featuring three tables of wines to explore.
