Those of you who have been meaning to see what’s been happening at Reston Town Center have a perfect wine and food excuse: The Great Grapes Wine, Art, and Food Festival. The September 12th and 13th event promises tastes from 15 Virginia wineries (including Fabbioli Cellars, Horton Vineyards, Loudoun Valley Vineyards, and Unicorn Winery), a family arts and crafts area, cooking and wine pairing seminars, and plenty of live musical performances.

Kids under 12 are free, but there are various adult admission tickets available either from the Great Grapes website or by telephoning 800-830-3976.
