Little Washington Winery and Brewery

The Ultimate Agritourism Food & Wine Retreat!

Dear Friends & Family —

We’d like to invite you to come play in the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains about an hour west of Washington D.C. We’re having so much fun with our weekend wine classes. We have grouped a few classes so you can come once and get in on several wine and food lessons with us. Our Wine Retreat delves into 5 wine and food seminars, an evening farm to table dinner filled with laughter, learning and fun, and finishes with our famous Choco-Vino Challenge final exam.

You can come out on Friday or on Saturday to get in our fun! Pick your favorite date to reserve on our calendar to sign up.

— If you would like to come Friday and stay until Sunday please plan to arrive anytime before 5pm on Friday. Wine Retreat officially commences Friday at 6:30pm with Guess the $100 Bordeaux Happy Hour, followed by Winemakers Dinner as we explore how to choose a wine for occasions and enjoy virtual journeys through famous wine regions and food.

— If you would like to come Saturday and Sunday please plan to arrive before our 2pm class on Saturday. Wine Retreat officially commences Saturday at 2pm with our afternoon class, then at 6:30 Guess the $100 Bordeaux Happy Hour, followed by Winemakers Dinner.

Our Agritourism Adventure includes:

~~ Guess the $100 Bordeaux Happy Hour Class

~~ Value / Premier / Splurge Class

— Winemakers Dinner where we explore occasions. Which occasions call for a “Value” wine? Which occasions need a “premier” wine? And which occasions are so epic they are worthy of a “Splurge” wine? For dinner we’ll enjoy 3 wines blind. They will be strategically selected to pair with the evenings dinner menu. The three wines will all be the same varietal with different price points! Can you guess which is which and if one is so much better than the others that it’s worth the splurge?

— Our morning class

— Our famous Choco-Vino Challenge

— Our Vintners Table Learning Lunch

By the end you will know how to get perfect wine + food pairings every time!

For those of you who are not quite local, we would like to invite you to please please plan to be our guest during our retreat. Our house is just our private winemakers farm house. But we have 4 spare bedrooms. We’ve been instructed by the Health department that we must use the plumbing in every room or the pipes will rot. Friends don’t let friends pipes rot. And friends don’t let friends drive late at night. So, it’s a win-win situation. We would feel better if you stay with us on Friday and Saturday (completely free) because sometimes we play with family and friends into the evening.

Wine Retreat includes 5 of our experiential wine education lessons at the regular class price, plus Winemakers Dinner, and our Choco-Vino Challenge.

Wine classes always happen on Saturdays and Sundays at Little Washington Winery. All of our classes are available to participate in individually. Our Retreat is just intended for friends and family to make one trip out and get in on several educational classes during a visit.

Discounts and Refunds are not accepted at all for Wine Retreat because we must purchase catering in advance. If you’d like to do it, go to our class calendar and find your favorite Retreat date to reserve.

We are a winery not a BnB. You will be on your own for Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday and Dinner on Saturday.
