Holiday Food Drive

I am very excited about a new program we are just getting started and it is our Holiday Food Drive! Throughout the month of December (up until Christmas Eve) we will be accepting canned and non-perishable food items to benefit the Emergency Food Bank of Charlottesville. We will have a basket, by our cute little Christmas tree where customers can drop of goods for the Emergency Food Bank. The best part about it is that any donating food will receive an extra 5% off their purchase in the tasting room!


The Emergency Food Bank is an organization that has been active since 1973 and they have about 100 volunteers, all unpaid, that work together to provide food for families in need in the Charlottesville area. Obviously we are excited to work with them and with all of your help I'm sure this will be successful!

Here is a list of items in high demand:

Canned tuna or chicken
Peanut butter
Cereal
Canned vegetables *
Soup (dry or canned)
Canned beans
Rice
Canned fruit
Macaroni and cheese
