Many of Virginia’s local breweries and wineries are hosting various festive parties. We’ve rounded up the best boozy events to ring in the new year.
Dry January doesn’t start until midnight on Jan. 1, so if you’re looking for somewhere to party on New Year’s Eve, we’ve got you covered.

Wood Ridge Farm Brewery
The roaring 20s meet a rustic farmhouse at Wood Ridge Farm Brewery’s New Year’s Eve party. Enjoy the brewery’s locally sourced taps while boogying into 2025 with live music from Dirt Road Brothers. Sound like your vibe? Then check out Wood Ridge Farm Brewery’s website for more info.

Veritas Vineyard and Winery
Embrace mystery, festivities, and elegance with Veritas Vineyard’s legendary New Year’s Eve Masked Ball. This black-tie event is like no other. Guests will first enjoy a wine-paired five-course meal, and then the masks and dance shoes come on until midnight. At midnight, there’s a toast to the new year, and finally a breakfast buffet to close out the night.
Tickets are $250 per person, but well worth the cost. If this offer sounds alluring, visit Veritas’ website for more information.
The Winery at Bull Run
The Winery at Bull Run transforms into a group party on New Year’s Eve. This shindig will have a DJ (from 9 p.m. to well after midnight), classic wines and ciders, food, and desserts from various vendors. Tickets are $65 per person. For tickets visit Bull Run’s ticket provider.
