Virginia Wine Expo
I think Virginia has turned me into a wine lover. I’m not even sure I’d tried any before I moved here. (It’s not that crazy, I was only 21 when I moved here.) But over the past few years, I’ve grown to love a glass of wine. I just love the community that tends to surround a bottle of wine. Laughing with girlfriends, clinking glasses with Alex, or unwinding on the balcony after a long day.
Of course, liking wine and knowing something about wine are two different things. I’ve learned a lot at various foodie events but I still have a long way to go. Knowledge or not, I’m super excited about the 8th annual Virginia Wine Expo, an annual event that brings a bunch of local Virginia wineries together under one roof. It will be my first time checking it out, but the Virginia Wine Expo is a pretty big deal, my friends. And don’t worry about going hungry- there are over 30 local, up-and-coming and award-winning chefs serving up delicious fare at different parts of the Expo. Your significant other doesn’t like wine? They can check out the Burger Blast event which not only has wine, but will also be serving up craft beer & burgers!
If you’re in Richmond (or really, if you’re somewhere near Richmond) then you should pick up tickets sooner rather than later! The event is February 17th-22nd and tickets are on sale now! Don’t worry, it’s inside the Richmond Convention Center, so you don’t have to worry about the weather! You’ll be nice and cozy while sipping on a Cabernet. Get your tickets so we can hang out and drink wine together!

I think you have started to drink the wine in small age. When we drink the wine the first time the taste of wine is much weird. Food with wine an awesome combination especially i really enjoy this kind of parties.
All the worlds many people drink wine. Many cannot survive without it. Many drink it after breakfast many people drinks after dinner and someone drink after lunch. There is just something so comforting and enjoyable to sipping with a good book.
I cannot wait!! It’s going to be such a great event.
Very cool! What days are you going to be there? This would be a fun Valentine’s Day date 🙂 Have a great one Liz and thanks for sharing! -Iva
Aw, I wish I lived closer because I would so be buying tickets to this!
Ooh that’s my birthday weekend! I should totally come up to Richmond for that!
Virginia has a ton of different Wine Festivals. NJ is kind of the same way and it feels like we are celebrating some sort of wine activity almost every weekend around here!
I’m really looking forward to enjoying a glass of wine again after pregnancy (I prefer heavy reds but will occasionally find a white that I enjoy.) I’m not a big drinker other than wine – there is just something so comforting and enjoyable about sipping with girlfriends/spouse or even with a good book 😉
I’m the same way! I’m not really a beer or liquor fan but a glass of wine can’t be beat 🙂
I wish I were a wine lover, but no matter what brands/flavors I try, I just can’t seem to hop on board. Guess I’m just not set out to enjoy it. Give me a beer or a pineapple/coconut beverage & that’s a whole different story. Hahah!
Haha I haven’t been able to really get into beer, so together, we’re a perfect pair 😉
