FOOD & DRINK GUIDE Curated Experiences 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. TO INDULGE THE SENSES 1 On select dates in spring, Sunset Hills Vineyard hosts Winemaker for a Day , a program where guests “apprentice” with the winemaker and practice making their own cuvée. Like what you create? Get a personal label affixed to the bottle to take home. 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. 50 | VisitLoudoun.org
