As we move past unwrapped presents, family dinners and “Falalala Lifetime” movies, and toward to the end of 2011, we thought it was only appropriate to bring you some excellent ways to usher in Jan. 1st.
For cheapy, less-is-more activities, check out our post here. Today we’ll be highlighting our top choices for a bubbly-and-vin0-filled New Year’s Eve.
Like wineries? You’ll love what Narmada has planned for this NYE. Tons of Indian food to choose from, plus lots of wine to drink, of course at this $79 per person shindig.
Reston’s Vinifera Bistro is also a top contender on our list of places to go this year. Chef Bo has a phenomenal menu planned and Sommeliers will be assisting with wine pairing throughout the night. You can bet your bottom dollar you’ll enjoy every minute of it. The event starts at $85 each and reservations are required.
If you’re thinking more of a costumed night of fun, check out Potomac Point Winery’s Midnight Masquerade. No sweatpants or baggy T-shirts found here. Their NYE gala, which is $109 per person, will ring in 2012 with masks, drinking, eating and an all-around good time vibes.
Check back tomorrow for more events and parties in NoVA with our Countdown to Fun. For our full guide to NYE, go here.
