Loudoun is full of artisanal, epicurean and culturally rich experiences. Connect to the land or enjoy its bounty with these hand-picked adventures for private parties or small groups.
1 | Join a sangria making class at Bluemont Vineyard and learn to mix citrus, apples, spices, homemade mint simple syrup and red or white Bluemont wine into the perfect cocktail.
2 | Learn how whiskey, gin and brandy are made at Catoctin Creek Distillery in Purcellville during a 30-minute guided distillery tour. Follow it with a whiskey flight in the brick-lined tasting room.
3 | Learn all about yeast, hops, fruit, fermentation and other aspects of beer making on a 30-minute “safari” brewery tour with Lost Rhino Brewing Company. Group tours happen the first Saturday of each month.
4 | During March and April, bring your kids to Georges Mill Farm in Lovettsville to bottle feed and snuggle their kids: the latest litter of baby goats.
5 | Take private classes in chocolate making and chocolate sculpting and learn all about truffle rolling and bon bon enrobing at fine dining restaurant and chocolate lab The Conche in Leesburg.
"Loudoun constantly inspires. The custom experiences we create highlight the people and places that make Loudoun worth visiting again and again."

THE ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE ADVENTURE
Santosh Tiptur channeled the sweet boyhood memory of eating chocolate candies in India to become a world-renowned pastry chef and founder-owner of The Conche, a sublime fine dining restaurant and chocolate lab in The Village at Leesburg. Purchase handcraft ed chocolate from the boutique, sip chocolate-infused whiskey cocktails and enjoy a menu where even the rack of lamb and ribeye steak come with herb and cocoa crust.
