Winchester Specialty Food Tours

Virginia Lovers Tour

Very similarly styled to our annual Valentine’s Tour, guests will enjoy a fantastic tour with your significant other this Virginia Lovers weekend! We’ll be stopping at 4-5 of our locations to enjoy fabulous food, a “sweet treat” feature, PLUS end with a champagne toast and perhaps some other surprises! Only one tour so space is very limited, book early!

What should I wear?
We will be indoors for most of the tour but will be walking outside to get to the next destination and for quick historical and architectural stops, so please wear clothes appropriate for the weather, and bring an umbrella if rain is in the forecast.
Is this tour good for local Winchester residents?
Absolutely! We tend to find that the closer we live to something the less we explore! Locals will learn new things, and our restaurants often offer new menu items to our guests.
