Cheers to the long weekend, my friends!

What do you have planned for Labor Day? Since Tom and I are headed on a 3-week adventure next week, we’re laying low at home this weekend. I have a zillion projects that I need to wrap up before hopping on the plane next Wednesday, so fingers crossed that I’m able to be productive and knock off everything on my to-do list!  But before I do that, I have the perfect end of summer cocktail I want to share with you!

How to Host a Wine and Cheese Tasting Party

Landmark Vineyards | Fall | House Warming | How to Host a Wine and Cheese Tasting Party featured by popular Virginia lifestyle blogger Alicia Tenise

Do you know what I love the most about fall? Don’t worry; I’m not going to say anything about cider or pumpkin spice!

Unlike the summer, most people travel a lot less during this season, and more of my friends are in town on the weekends. That’s why I love to entertain between September-November — the time of year between Labor Day and Thanksgiving is the perfect time to host your friends!

If you grew up in Mid-Atlantic like I did, your family probably took a vacation or two to Williamsburg, VA growing up. Who could pass it up? From Colonial Williamsburg to Busch Gardens to the incredible outlet shopping, Williamsburg made for the perfect vacation.

What if I told you that Williamsburg’s food scene was on the rise as well? The folks over at Visit Williamsburg invited me to their revamped Williamsburg Taste Festival a few of weeks ago, and I got to sample some of the best fresh, local cuisine and craft beverages from vendors in and around Williamsburg. Spoiler: I was shocked at the high-quality of food that these vendors had to offer! 

If you’re thinking about attending the Williamsburg Taste Festival in the future, here’s what you need to know!
