Virginia Wine Showcase – Feb. 18 & 19 in Arlington

Hey Folks!

We’re very pleased to be kicking off our 2012 as an exhibitor in the 7th annual Virginia Wine Showcase, February 18 and 19 at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Virginia. We haven’t had too many opportunities to bring our goods to this part of Virginia, so to all those Well Hung winos in the DC and Maryland area – this is a great chance to see us! Come taste our full line of varietals; all of our wine, clothing, and miscellaneous Well Hung emblazoned objects will be available for sale. We will have fantastic company, with 17 other quality Virginia vineyards, as well as a smattering of local artisans. Get your tickets today and we’ll see you in February!

Cheers!

Winchester Hot Air Balloon and Wine Festival – October 14 – 16

Hey Northern Virginians! Don’t bother getting up, we’re coming to you!

This weekend, October 14th and 15th, is the Hot Air Balloon and Wine Festival in Winchester! We’ve never done the event before, but we’ve heard great things and we’re thrilled to be involved. The tastings kick off on Friday evening from 4 to 8, and Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 19 local vineyards and wineries will be there; a tasting is $15 in advance or $20 at the door – well worth it for both the quantity and quality of what you’ll be getting.

Hope to see a lot of you out there! The weather should make this the second beautiful festival weekend in a row, so don’t miss it!

Cheers!

Well Hung Festival Weekend – Montpelier and Crozet!

Hey folks! This weekend is going to be huuuge, and we hope as many of you as possible can see us at one of the two festivals we’re attending!

One of our favorite twice-a-year events is this Saturday and Sunday, May 7th and 8th – the Crozet Arts & Crafts Festival. Pick up some art (or crafts!) for Mother’s Day (you didn’t forget, did you?) along with your bottle of wine! All of our varietals will be for sale, and many will be available for tasting. Our full line up of shirts, hats, aprons, posters, yada yada yada, will also be for sale and on display. Just look for our spokesmannequin, Richard. (He’s the one who’s a mannequin.)

Also this weekend is what may very well be our biggest festival to date. The Montpelier Wine Festival is Saturday and Sunday and features 24 Virginia vineyards and wineries, demonstrations on cooking with food and wine, music, artisans, and kites! Honestly, I’m not sure what the kites are about, but the website says they’ll be there and I think it’s pretty exciting. There’s still time to buy a ticket in advance for $15, but they’re just $25 at the door – well worth the quality of the event.

It’s going to be a beautiful weekend, so get out and enjoy some wine. Crozet, Montpelier, your back yard, wherever, as long as it’s Well Hung.

Cheers!

Two Events Saturday – Farmville & Roanoke!

The Well Hung crew is hitting this road this weekend in order to bring wine to our friends in Farmville and Roanoke!

This Saturday, April 16th, Well Hung Vineyard will be in Farmville at their eponymous Wine Festival, in addition to Roanoke where we will be pouring wine at one of Mr. Bill’s Cellar tasting events. (Speaking of events, here’s a link to it on Facebook!)

The Farmville Wine Festival features over a dozen local wineries, crafters, and food vendors. Check it out at the Riverfront Park from 11:00 – 5:00 for just $15.

The fun at Mr. Bill’s starts at noon and lasts until 5 – there will be music, there will be Well Hung wine, and Mr. Bill himself is taking the helm at the grill.

Hope to see you at one of these great events! Cheers!

A Taste for the Holidays in Ivy

Whether you’re looking for a wine to gift this season or a delicious conversation piece to adorn your table, Well Hung wine has you covered.

This weekend, Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 21st and 22nd, we’ll be having a home-town tasting in Ivy at the Ivy Store from 2 – 6 each afternoon. Come and enjoy a taste of our fine wines, or buy a glass to sip while you shop. Of course, we will also be selling wine by the bottle as well as our whole array of clothes, magnets, sacks, what have you! And don’t forget to stay until dark on Sunday when the holiday season is officially signaled, for me at least, by the annual illuminating of the Ivy Store’s gorgeous roof-top light display!

See you there!
Cheers!

PS: While you’re in the spirit, I want to share a delightful photo sent in by a Well Hung fan…

Huggin' a bottle for Christmas has never looked cuter!
