    Central Virginia Wine Festival - Hanging out at the Yelp table!

    If you didn't go to Virginia Tech, you may want to skip this wine festival. The Central Virginia…read moreWine Festival is hosted by the Richmond chapter of the Virginia Tech Alumni Association. 14 wineries are present at Innsbrook, and your ticket ($20 in advance, $25 at the door) gets you unlimited tasting. Here's what I wasn't a fan of. First off, it's a really hot, crowded day to be outside at Innsbrook. The wineries are under tents, but the tasters aren't really, so prepare to sweat. Also, because of the warm weather, most of the wines weren't cold enough to get a good taste. No one wants to drink warm wine, be it red or white. Second, along with wine, they were selling beer. This led to lots of non-wine-drinking Va Tech grads just hanging out getting drunk. Not my favorite atmosphere when I'm actually trying to taste wine. There were lots of the usual player wineries here: Grayhaven, James River Cellars, Cooper, Lake Anna, etc., which is nice if you don't drink much local wine, but if you do, you might prefer to sample these wines at the local wineries or at a festival at a nearby winery with nicer atmosphere. There were people selling food, but nothing looked too great. We stayed for about 2 hours and then were hot/bored/sick of the crowds and left. Go: if you want to get drunk with a bunch of hokies. Don't go: if you actually want to sample wine and find some you like.

    This festival was a huge hit! I just adored the crowd and the people in charge. There was music,…read morefood, and, of course, tons of wine. Everything you could ever want in a wine festival was there and it was magical. I happened to be there working the Yelp table, but I did get a chance to walk around as a spectator and experience the festival in that way. This year the sun was beaming down with fury. Around midday you could tell that the heat was taking its toll on folks, but the VIP tent had tons of water so kudos to them for anticipating #TheThirst. My favorite winery in all of VA, Belle Mount Vineyards, was there which made me super happy. No other winery could have shown up and I would have been perfectly fine. But the fact that I could get pepper spray, my favorite sangria from Belle Mount, and clothes from various vendors at the same festival makes it a winner in my book. I also love how it's always very well-attended, but never so busy that you can't move like other festivals in RVA tend to be. Definitely check it out next year!

    The Armenian Food Festival is an annual fall festival hosted by St. James Armenian Church, just…read morewest of the city. There is no dedicated parking, so you'll need to find parking in the surrounding quiet neighborhood. Prices for food and drinks are reasonable, and they have entertainment and some goods to purchase too. It's like a mini version of the Greek festival. I personally love the meat pie - that is my go-to. The festival is known for their hye burger though, which is a mix of beef and lamb (and I don't eat lamb). All in all, I'm a fan and look forward to attending again next year.

    The first time I was actually here was back in 2010. I actually use to volunteer here and the…read morepeople that are in charge of this festival are really great people. The last time I was here (besides yesterday) was 2013 because I had always have something going on during those weekends. Anyways, the hue burgers are ALWAYS an amazing choice (you can get those right at the entrance on the left side). I got the combo with the pita bread, sautéed onions, stewed tomato green beans and pilaf. (I got full off of half of it and saved the rest for my hubby.) not only did I not finish my food, I went through the buffet line and got a to go box with the cheese and spinach boreg (sp?), meat pie, and the dessert. Let's say that once I walked through the doors, the leftover food and to go food was gone within 10-15 mins. Haha. The boregs were crispy and filling, the meatpie was REALLY good (I honestly thought the meat in a wrap was gonna be alright, but it ended up being my favorite to go). The dessert of the baklava and others (sorry! I don't know the names) ended up being the perfect touch in ending the Armenian meal. Festival is great, the people who run it are fun and wonderful, food is amaze-balls and these festivals are serious the reasons I love so much about Richmond. Def go and enjoy the experience!

    It was super hot. Even in a tent…read more Price: Free admission but food and drink were a little bit expensive for the small portion. Water $2. Lechon $7. Rumpia $2. Cake $4. Halo halo $6. Taste: Delicious! Lechon(roasted pig) was simply good. Tender and juicy. The skin was crispy and flavorful. Halo halo(sweet bean, carnation milk, pudding, boiled banana, shaved ice, etc...) was good too. That was my first fantastic experience I've not done in Philippine somehow. Vender: Clothes, soap, info, etc... No Yelp this year... Historical Church tour: I didn't try but must be good. They kept saying, 'AC is there.' From 2:00 and 4:00pm. Show: Dance shows were fun. I'm not sure why they had some opera shows tho. Too loud. I wished they had a break time to enjoy talking with friends. Parking: Free.

They had a tent with food to include favorites like turon, pancit, lumpia, & empanadas. Grab a meal ticket, check off what you'd like, take it up to the both and pay, then wait and they'll hand you your order. They do take square & card payments. They have tropical drinks: halo*halo, mango puree, & cantaloupe drink with fresh pieces inside. They had a Hawaiian shaved ice truck and a soda & water tent. They had a desert tent which I didn't visit there. The eating area was large with covered tents and also in the wooded area nearby. They had plenty of craft vendors, history tent, tourism tents, & best of all a Yelp tent make sure to meet the event rep take a pic, & get a free food voucher to use the event day! I Had a great time Mabuhay!
