February 2025

Our Virginia Vineyard Barbecue

Date:2025-02-02

In February, we turned our Cellar Door into a one-day Italian festa for Virginia Vineyard!

The sun was shining, so we kicked back with lawn chairs, picnic rugs, and umbrellas.

We poured the first taste of our new vintage Virginia Vineyard Red.

Although, everyone agreed—the wine of the day was our Virginia Vineyard White. Light, crisp, and refreshing, it was perfect for drinking in the sun.

The Honeycombs set the mood with some RnB classics—featuring our very own Matteo Grilli and Lewis Todd!

We can’t wait for the next one—cheers!
