Love By The Glass (Loudoun Style)

It's always been said that Virginia is for Lovers!  So, there's no better idea than a promotion called "Love By The Glass" to celebrate Virginia's First Ever Wine Week!

Virginia is well known for it's vineyards, and Loudoun is especially well regarded, often referred to as "DC's Wine Country". 

In fact, Leesburg was credited as being one of the top ten places for a wine lover to retire! 

With our many local vineyards, finding a local wine that you like should be easy.  Check out the specials offered by Loudoun's merchants, restaurants and vineyards, including:  Bluemont Vineyard, Fireworks Pizza, Grandale Farm Restaurant, Landsdowne Conference Resort, The Wine Kitchen, Tuscarora Mill Restaurant, Vintage 50, Wine Styles & Gifts Leesburg Vintner... and many more businesses in the Dulles and No Va area...See the full list here:

This Weekends Events!

And so it begins... Here in Loudoun, next week is Spring Break, which means no school. 

Many people will be on vacation, others will perhaps be on a "Staycation" looking for local stuff to get into.  Still others will have extended family or friends staying with them during the week..and perhaps trying to figure out what to do with them.  Then there are the poor shleps that will be breezing to work with barely a hint of rush hour next week. 

Which one is you?

If you're staying local, and especially if you'll have visitors, you'll want to check out the Events Page of the Leesburg VA Fanpage.  There are TONS of Leesburg/Loudoun events listed...and many will be ongoing through the upcoming week.

This weekend a few seasonal highlights are:

While the fan page mostly focuses on Leesburg and Loudoun events, who can ignore DC's famous Cherry Blossom Festival, less than an hour away?

The last weekend of the Big Apple Circus!

Ida Lee's Easter Egg Hunt

Marshmallow Harvest and Egg Hunt (Great Country Farms)

as well as other local egg hunts, festivals, "open plays" at kids gyms, performances, Treasure Quest at Tally Ho, and a myriad of other great events. 

It's true, we do focus on the kid friendly and family oriented events (because children require constant entertainment), but trust me, DC's Wine Country offers plenty for adults. 

How about about antiquing, meandering and window shopping in our many downtown areas?  Check out are wonderful trails and parks where you can picnic, boat, fish, hike, and explore.  This weekend wraps up Virginia's first ever Wine Week (Click here for a coupon to our own Leesburg Vintner, and find out more), and there are many local restaurants, stores, and vineyards participating in the "Love By The Glass" promotion.

Whatever you're up to, there's something for everyone.  From now on, don't miss a thing!  Become a FAN today! www.facebook.com/leesburgva
