We love local food tours! It's a great deal that includes 4 different restaurants and a walking history tour that takes around 4 hours. This company has tours in Washington, DC as well as in Alexandria, VA.
Middleburg has a cute but sophisticated downtown with limited shopping but has cideries and wineries very close by. It's about an hour away from us.

Occoquan, VA is where our venue is! It's an adorable, quirky, riverside town, with a few good restaurants, boutique shopping, art gallery, wine bar, and a few casual bars. It's one of Deirdre's favorite places to be.
