October is Virginia Wine Month

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Thursday, October 13th, 2011

Did you know that October is Virginia wine month? That means that if you’re looking for something different to do this weekend, look no further because the Virginia Wine Academy’s got you covered!

This Friday (and every Friday in October) they’re offering wine cruises along the Potomac where you can kick back, relax and enjoy some amazing local Virginia wines!

For $55 get 15 tastes (or combine your tastes for full glasses) of some of the best wines this state has to offer. If you’re feeling a bit peckish, there will be a wide array of snack to choose from.

Each cruise is 90 minutes and offers some of the best views of the DC skyline.

Virginia Wine Cruises on the Potomac are offered every Friday in October and depart from the SW Waterfront at 700 street.

Cruise Times:

6:30 – 8:00 PM – Boats board 15 minutes in advance and leave on time.

8:30 – 10:00 PM – Boats board 15 minutes in advance and leave on time.

NOTE: You will be scheduled on the cruise you sign up for and we will not be able accommodate late or early arrivals due to capacity of the boats. These cruises are expected to sell out.
