There was a wedding AND a bridal shower occuring at the same time. There is upstairs to the restaurant and the wedding was happening up there. There is also an outdoor porch area where the bridal shower was occuring. Most of the seating inside was high top seating. All the wines are made in house and there was a large selection! Our server (who may also be the manager/owner?) was very kind and explained some of the wines for us. We got 2 of their flights and they were all excellent. The Library Collection has some unique drinks. They do sell most of their bottles to go (pic of pricing in this review!). They also make food and they all smelled great. I would love to go back and try more wines and some of their food!

We got a Chef's Whim board which was fun and filling. We also got the Winemakers and Library flights. Our server was very knowledgeable about the wines. I'm not giving them 4 stars for a few reasons. I wish I could build my own flight because each flight choice had wines I didn't like. I also wish there were more menu items. And, the bench seating cushions were worn through almost to the stuffing which was really surprising that they would let them get that bad at a restaurant like this. That said, we had a great meal with a great server. I don't think we'll be back though.

It's such a pretty area to walk, run, or just hang out by the water. It's also home to some of my favorite spots, including Osteria Morini and Barry's, which makes the area even better. Overall, it's one of my favorite places in DC and such a perfect spot to spend time when the weather is nice.

Definitely worth a visit just plan ahead for parking!

Alison was very helpful navigating the area (how on Earth can you figure out which wineries to go to?) and explaining the difference in the varietals we tried. She also asked questions of the venue I would not have thought to ask, and I found two possible locations for my event (and learned which wines made it through the difficult 2011 growing season!) As someone who enjoys wine but really needs a little extra help, Alison has been my go-to "wine Rolodex" and was invaluable to learning what options were available in Loudoun County.

She was engaging, down to earth and entertaining. everyone loved it and her. She also took a few pictures of the party, which I'd forgotten to do so I have lasting memories of a very special night. I would definitely use her again.

TLDR: Cancelled event 1 week out with no explanation and refunded tickets with Fever App vouchers…read morethat are only good for 6 months. I have attended a couple DTD events in the past (Cherry Blossom Beer Festival and Red White and Brew) with little to no problems, however my recent run in has left me disappointed. I bought tickets to the 2022 Clover Beer Festival with ticketing being handled through the Fever Ticket App. About a week before the event, out of the blue, Drink the District cancels the festival. No email explanation or apologies, only a notification on my Fever App that my tickets had been cancelled and the Facebook event vanished overnight. Adding insult to injury, Drink the District refunded my tickets with Fever App vouchers, which only can be used with Fever events and the value expires in 6 months. Finally, Fever kept their $16 worth of service fees. This is absolutely unacceptable on all fronts.

Some did accept credit card. 2) Was a "beer fest" with only 12 stands and ~22 beers on tap. 3) There was sand/dirt in the ice mixed in for rails 4) Sound system was not so good; did not project well to half the venue 5) Speaking of the venue, it was tiny! Definitely had a much better time at the beer fest in National's Park. Furthermore, they are located a moderate hike from the metro station vs. the other venue is just 2 blocks away. The only positive part of this experience was there was a lot more seating near the food carts than competitors' venues. The venue they hold this event in is awkward, small vs. at the nationals park which offers much more privacy and space. The biggest let down is perhaps the "beer fest." This is a blatant lie. The other events I've been to have over 50 stands with over 100 (that's right, ONE HUNDRED) different tastings. I was so disappointed I left early. I tried to give their events a shot, but now I'm one very sad beer lover. :(
