Magnolias at the Mill—Purcellville

Located in the heart of Loudoun County's "Wine Country", this spot is great for a special night or event. Each night they prepare 3-4 specialty, meals crafted from locally sourced Virginia ingredients, in addition to an impressive menu that changes with the seasons. Ask about the restaurant’s “Daily Fix”, a unique and inspired cocktail blended up each evening.

Are you a whiskey lover? This is the perfect spot for you! A self-proclaimed southern kitchen and whiskey bar, sit back and enjoy soulful music and delicious modern southern-inspired cuisine. The restaurant’s menu specials change daily, but you can expect to find seasonal favorites including Cornish game hens, duck, and venison. As a whiskey bar, Jimmy Madison’s offers a special whiskey drink of the day during each holiday season. We recommend their Hot Cider Whiskey cocktail!

The Boathouse - Richmond

Fresh seafood, and beautiful surroundings! No matter which of the three locations in the Richmond area you visit, you’re sure to get enjoy an impressive menu complimented by hand picked wine suggestions. If you’re up for an appetizer, order up the Pig and Pearl, an appetizer made with fried oysters, braised pork belly, and collards that is dressed with a roasted garlic aioli.
