Fun Activities
Leesburg
If you are staying local for the weekend, Leesburg is a great town to explore! They have fun breweries, restaurants, and outlets to go shopping at! At the bottom of this page is a list of restaurants that come highly recommended by locals.
National Mall
If you've never been to DC, the national mall is a MUST see! You can rent bikes, walk, or scooter around for a very affordable price. The sites and museums are free and an awesome way to see the city.
Old Town
Old Town is the oldest city in the United States. This area sits on the Potomac and is filled with AMAZING food and drinks. King Street is a great way to spend your afternoon! Black wall hitch, Mason Social, and Mai Thai are a few of our favorite restaurants.
District Wharf
The Warf is an awesome part of DC for grub, cocktails, and concerts. They have an AMAZING seafood set up on the water (just make sure you bring cash, they do not accept any kind of plastic). The Anthem is the newest venue in the area bringing in a wide range of artists and performances! Matt and I got engaged at the Warf on September 13, 2019 at Shake Shack (a popular burger joint for DC natives)!
Shenandoah National Park
Shenandoah National Park is a beautiful area to explore. There are hundreds of hiking trails to explore and makes for a great day trip with friends and family!
Port City Brewing Company
This is an awesome brewery in Alexandria. They are known for great beer and tasty food trucks. Check it out!
Quattro Goombas Brewery
This is (in Mary's opinion) the BEST brewery and winery in the area. They have wonderful beer/wine slushys, outdoor seating, and the most delicious pizza! It's a great way to spend your afternoon (very kid and dog friendly), highly recommend!
Vanish Farmwoods Brewery
Vanish is a great scene for food trucks, great beer of all varieties, live music and a chill atmosphere. Enjoy corn hole, wine slushees and even soft served ice cream at a family-friendly venue!
Fabbioli Cellars
Do you love wine? This wine goes beyond the call of duty and provides a small bite pairing for each wine tasting. Each month is a new theme where you always end on a beautiful piece of chocolate and their award winning raspberry merlot wine (close but not quite a dessert wine).
The Wine Kitchen
The Wine Kitchen is a beautiful, rustic restaurant that serves amazing wine flights from across the world. The flights are structured by regions, themes, and make your own! Their menu is constantly changing and has a fresh, youthful take on well-known meals.
Delirium Café-Leesburg
The only US location of a well known Belgium beer company. Come in to enjoy quintessential Belgian cuisine of fries, mussels and waffles along with a Belgian styled beer!
Tuscarora Mill Restaurant
One of the best restaurants in Leesburg. Their menu is large and caters to so many pallets. Their wine selection is to die for and their staff is knowledgeable on the best pairings.
Lightfoot Restaurant
A converted Civil War bank into an upscale restaurant that has one of the best Happy Hours in town! Come enjoy tasty bites and awesome cocktails! This restaurant is an experience in itself!
Bluemont Vineyard
This winery has the best view in the state of Virginia. Some have even boasted that on a clear day you can see the Washington Monument on the horizon. The sunsets are unforgettable and the photogenic moments are a must have! They have amazing flatbreads and charcuterie boards.
