๐นYes itโs Monday, but itโs never too early for a summer cocktail! The Bebedero is one of our favorite spots in Charlottesville for a unique, tasty (and beautiful!) beverage with as much spice as you like!
Their Romero Paloma features infused El Silencio Mezcal, artfully mixed with grapefruit juice, agave, and sprinkled with a bit of black sea salt. And donโt miss their โDonde Estร n Mis Pantalonesโ, if not just for the name, for the deliciously smokey mix of Mezcal, Rum, passion fruit, grapefruit, lime, agave, Rosรจ, and smoked tyme.
๐ And, if youโve ever wanted to learn more about mezcal, or even just wondered about that worm at the bottom of the bottle, schedule a mezcal tasting class with the one and only River Hawkins. This is an experience you donโt want to miss, as the engaging @riverhawkins will share his knowledge and experiences from his time in Mexico touring mezcalarias, tequila distilleries, and agave fields. Gather some friends and let River take you on a journey while he shares the rich history, fascinating processes, and unique beauty in a liquor that heโs passionate about!
๐ถ๐ Barks at the Barn at @boldrockhardcider is happening this Sunday 1-6pm. Bring your canine buddy for treats, drinks, and dog-related give-aways! Happy doggers, happy owners - win,win!
@blueberrydane thanks for the ๐ธ
๐ฆช๐ท Take a little drive to the beautiful 12 Ridges Vineyard on the Blue Ridge Parkway this weekend to relax in the mountains with delicious wine, gorgeous views, and delectable oysters! Chef Troy @lexvegasbistro will be serving oysters in the afternoon starting at 12:30pm. Oysters do sell out quickly, but the Chef will be ready with other food offerings (menu changes weekly!). Oysters are available every Sunday at @12ridges throughout the summer!
If shellfish aren't your thing, head out for Sunset Saturday with @popitospizza and live music from 1-4pm from Shane Click and then 5-8pm from Anthony Wayne Vibe. The vineyard will stay open until 9pm for you to enjoy the sun setting over the mountains! ๐
