DMVdoes × Crave LocallyVirginia Wine Country Escape
A beautifully curated autumn day of historic dining, boutique wine and good company — with transportation included.
Expected price: $299 per person
Includes taxes and gratuity. Limited to 12 guests. No payment required today.
Step away from the city and spend the day with DMVdoes and Crave Locally exploring one of Northern Virginia’s most charming countryside destinations.
Enjoy an elevated lunch inside a beautifully restored historic mill, followed by an immersive boutique winery experience featuring a vineyard and production tour, guided wine tasting, charcuterie and an exclusive barrel tasting.
Round-trip group transportation from the DMV is included, so all you need to do is arrive, relax and enjoy the day.
A Fall-Themed Experience
This escape is designed for peak autumn in Virginia wine country — Saturday, November 7, when the vines turn gold, the harvest is in the barrel and the countryside is at its most beautiful. Expect seasonal dishes, warm earthy tones and cozy afternoon light throughout the day.
More Than a Wine Tour
This experience is designed for people who want more than simply moving from one tasting room to another.
Crave Locally has curated a relaxed countryside day where exceptional food, local history, boutique wine and meaningful social time come together.
The itinerary intentionally includes only two destinations, giving guests time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed — and plenty of time to connect with the DMVdoes community along the way.
Lunch Inside a Restored Historic Mill
Begin your countryside escape with lunch inside a beautifully restored early twentieth-century mill, where local history and exceptional cuisine come together.
Your curated lunch includes
- Choice of appetizer
- Choice of entrée
- One beverage of your choosing, including local wine, beer or a non-alcoholic option
- Dietary preferences and restrictions accommodated with care
Rich in character and charm, this historic landmark sets the tone for a leisurely afternoon in Virginia wine country.
Historic Setting • Curated Lunch • Local Flavors
Go Behind the Scenes at a Boutique Winery
Next, travel deeper into Virginia wine country for an immersive boutique winery experience created for guests who want to understand what happens beyond the tasting room.
Your visit includes
- Guided vineyard and winery tour
- Behind-the-scenes access to the production facilities
- Introduction to grape growing and winemaking
- Guided tasting of the winery's signature wines
- Custom charcuterie board
- Exclusive barrel tasting
Sample wine directly from the barrel and discover how it develops before bottling while learning about the winemaking process from the people behind the wine.
