Virginia at the Table
Tuesday June 9, 2026 3:45pm - 5:00pm EDT
The Jefferson Hotel
The best argument for Virginia wine isn't made in a classroom; it's made at the table. This session pairs Virginia wines with a curated spread of Virginia-sourced small bites. Come with your menu in mind. Leave with pairings you can sell and a conviction that Virginia wine doesn't just belong on your list, it belongs on your table.
