Join the wineries of the Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail for our 3rd Annual Fall Oyster Crawl on Sunday, November 8! Each participating winery will be offering a delicious oyster dish to pair with their wines. After experiencing the Oyster Crawl, you too will agree that “Virginia is for Lovers”… of wine and oysters!
Virginia is quickly becoming known as the Oyster Capital of the East Coast and November has officially been named “Virginia Oyster Month.” Celebrate it with wine & oyster pairings along our Wine Trail, which has been voted the #1 Wine Trail in Eastern VA by the readers of Virginia Living Magazine!
Normal wine tasting fees will apply at each winery and oysters will be available for sale.
