Last post I told you about the straws I purchased for our guests to use, but I haven't yet told you what liquids we will be providing our guests.
First and foremost, we are having a backyard (frontyard) BBQ wedding, so we MUST have H2O, lemonade, and iced tea.
Secondly, we will be having some alcoholic beverages for our peeps to enjoy. Many of you may not be aware of the fabulousness of
Virginia wineries. Virginia has sooo many wineries and actually, a good number of them surround Charlottesville. I have tasted many of the wines from local vineyards at different festivals as well as at the vineyards. I don't want to go crazy with the wine, but I do want to feature the local Virginia wines.
Also, there are 4 breweries near our farm (2 of them are ~5 minutes away). So, I'd also like to feature a few beers from them. The most popular of these breweries is
Starr Hill. I believe I can get a keg from them, and my friends have already informed me of the beer I
should will be choosing. I still need to go to the other 3 and do some taste testing.
Not all of our guests drink alcohol, and they may feel left out without anything bubbly, so I also am looking to get some sparkling cider. Alpenglow cider is made in the Shenandoah Valley which is where we grew up. So I have been scouring Charlottesville looking for it but have only found it in one location (a very expensive general store). This is the best sparkling cider I have EVER tasted!
Are you looking to feature local wines and beers at your reception?
