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.

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.
