The DrinkLocalWine guys are primed to eat, drink and make merry all across Loudoun County during their 2nd annual conference, a three-day event (Apr 24-26) hosted by Lansdowne Resort.
DLW co-founder Dave McIntyre said they’re still working on firming up the conference agenda, joking, “Who knows, the way the weather is going, we might add a sledding party.”
Discussion panels are expected to delve into issues ranging from “grapes that work best for Virginia” to putting social media work to for local wineries.
Meanwhile, attendees will get to put the tasting-to-texting strategies into practice as part of an interactive “Twitter Taste-Off.”
A private reception is scheduled at Boxwood Winery (manager Rachel Martin didn’t have many more details, but said she expects to pour the 2007 Boxwood, Topiary and Rose lines) as are tasting dinners at Tuscarora Mill (Tuskie’s chef Patrick Dinh is still working on the menu, but plans wine pairings from Boxwood) and Magnolia’s at the Mill (menu TBD).
Registration opens Mar 1, with tickets running $65 (includes lunch, panels and the Twitter tasting).
