We love to visit the local breweries and wineries. Richmond has many breweries and cideries and if you're willing to make the trip further outside the city you will find an abundance of wineries. Some of our favorites include:

Isley Brewery-Make sure you try their award winning Choosy Mother Peanut Butter Porter

Hardywood-Probably the most well known brewery in Richmond with lots of outdoor space, corn hole, and usually a multitude of food trucks (especially on Thursday nights)

Stone-New to Richmond in 2016 the California brewery opened up their east coast distribution center just outside of downtown Richmond.

Cooper Vineyards-Located about 45 minutes west of Richmond in Louisa this is one of our favorite wineries to visit

New Kent Winery-Located about 25 minutes east of Richmond they have great wines and a beautiful outdoor area

James River Cellars-The closest winery to downtown Richmond and one of our favorites to visit. Be sure to try their wine slushy if they have it!
