EO DC Special Exclusive Paradise Springs Winery VIP Event

When:  May 23, 2021 from 11:00 to 16:00 (ET)
You're cordially invited to a very exclusive and special EO DC event. Starting at 11 AM on Sunday, May 23rd, you and your family (kids welcomed) are invited to a special outdoor wine tasting and lunch event at the beautiful Paradise Springs Winery in Clifton, VA. If you have not been to Paradise Springs Winery before, you are in for a treat!

We have reserved a private, exclusive outdoor space and will be treated to a wine tasting event by Paradise Springs Winery winemaker, Rob Cox, as well as a special presentation and Q&A from the gregarious and affable winery founder and CEO, Kirk Wiles.

Our event will also include a special VIP behind-the-scenes, personalized and guided tour of the grounds, including their exclusive Barrel Room, Vineyard, and overall grounds.

There will be an amazing full BBQ lunch, served up by Rockland's BBQ and our very own John Snedden (and don't worry, there will be plenty of vegetarian options, too). We will also have a traditional Ice Cream Cart with countless flavors of ice cream to satisfy everyone's dessert desires. There will also be plenty of non-alcoholic beverages including water, lemonade, and iced-tea.

Your kids are strongly encouraged to join as well. For the kids (and adults too), we'll have plenty of games and activities to enjoy - think a fun, carnival-like atmosphere including corn hole, face painting, giant Connect Four and checkers, caricature artist, strolling magician, mini-golf, etc.

Our event will begin at 11AM, and you'll want to try to get there around that time as the (free) parking lots can fill up later in the day. If you arrive between 11-11:30 AM, you shouldn't have any problem with parking.

While COVID is certainly not over, some restrictions have been lifted, and we will be taking all precautions to keep you safe. Please see our detailed list of COVID Precautions below.
