Mount Vernon Estate & Gardens' Spring Wine Festival and Sunset Tour
| Description: | The festival celebrates the history of wine in Virginia combined with exclusive evening candlelight tours of the Mansion and cellar led by colonial-attired 18th century "friends" of the Washingtons. They will discuss Washington's attempts at creating a vineyard and highlight various wine-related items inside the Mansion, such as Washington's spirits case, as well as the basement's brick vaults where Washington stored his wine. There are also appearances by "George and Martha Washington" and live jazz on the east lawn overlooking the scenic Potomac River. Visitors can bring a blanket and relax on the lawn as they sample the vintages of 16 Virginia wineries. To accompany the wine tasting, fruit and cheese boxes, serving two, are available by advance purchase at $24 each. A variety of hot and cold food and desserts, including baguettes, gourmet sandwiches, and specialty sweets will be available on site from the Mount Vernon Inn Restaurant and Alexandria Pastry Shop. Outside food and beverages as well as pets are not allowed. |
