Festivals are such fun! The smells, the foods, the drinks,
and the people (who are sometimes responsible for a portion of the smells…) Ahhhh,
festival season… as children we love the fall fests, the Halloween fests, the
fourth of July and other summer fests as well!
But as adults, (and you can be honest with us J) some of our favorite fests
involve more adult beverages.
Enter: the beer and wine festivals.
DC has a brew fest every year, as does Lake Anna in a more
southern county, and don’t even get me started on the various Oktoberfests.
There is an Oktoberfest at Ft. Belvoir, one in Vienna, another in Martinsville,
in Strasburg, and even an Oktoberfest dinner here at the Fort Myer O’Club!
This is one celebration we should send up mounds of frothy
thanks to the Germans for sharing.
Then there are the wine festivals that are sprinkled around
our area. There is the Yorktown Wine Festival, the Fall Wine Festival &
Sunset Tour at Mount Vernon, and the Rock the Grapes Festival at Veramar.
Wait…that last one sounds veeeerry familiar…
It is! Because we here at Family & MWR have championed
a chariot to whisk us to the Shenandoah Valley this Saturday to enjoy the
bounty of the harvest! People use that phrase for wine, right? Moving on.
Have you purchased your ticket to join us (this Saturday,
October 3) as we meander aboard the air conditioned cabin of the bus, complete
with a wine & cheese service? Yes,
that’s right! We’re serving our guests wine, cheese, and grapes on the way to
the festival.
What better way to welcome autumn to our area than to sip
wine and enjoy the changing leaves in the Shenandoah? It’s going to be a beautiful, relaxing and
memorable day trip.
Pray for no rain!
