If you will be in the Washington, DC area for the weekend of December 4 and 5, be sure to check out DC’s Holiday Wine Mall! It is at the Dulles Expo Center. This event features over 200 wines. Visitors can shop for artisan wines, gourmet foods, art as well as unusual gift items. More information is available at the Holiday Wine Mall website.

On the other side of the country in California, the Livermore Valley Wine Country is hosting Holidays in the Vineyards from 12pm-5pm. This is a wine country tradition. According to the website, “Guests are encouraged to bring toys to their favorite wineries. All toys will be donated to the Pleasanton-Livermore Fire Association’s Toys for Tots Program after the event, directly benefitting children in need thoughout Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.” More information is available on the Livermore Valley Wine Country website.
