Exposing what dwells within.
We're pretty excited about Cider Week Virginia at Beyond the Flavor! So much so that we organized a Cider Cocktail Crawl through Charlottesville to test out the specialty drinks local restaurants have created using Virginia cider. Somebody had to do it!
Pippin Hill Farm + Vineyards is one of the lovliest wedding venues in our area. I can't get over the beautiful views and incredible space every time I visit. Also lovely is their selection of new dishes and cocktails for their spring menu. The signature drinks and late-night snacks would make such a great addition to a wedding!
