Saturday & Sunday, April 22-23, 2017
Join the wineries of the Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail for our 5th Annual Spring Oyster Crawl! This year’s event will take place over a full weekend on Saturday & Sunday, April 22 and 23, 2017. Each participating winery will be offering one or more delicious oyster dishes to pair with their wines.
Virginia is quickly becoming known as the “Oyster Capital of the East Coast.” And a great way to enjoy the experience is with local wines & oyster pairings along the Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail – recently voted the #2 Wine Trail in Virginia by the readers of Savor Virginia Magazine (learn more).
After experiencing the Oyster Crawl, you too will agree that “Virginia is for Lovers”… of wine and oysters!
