As the weather gets cooler and the holiday season begins, there are an abundance of seasonal activities to take advantage of in Northern Virginia. And while ice skating or Christmas parties might stand front and center, DC Cocktail Week could become your new favorite holiday tradition.
The weeklong event, which runs from Monday, November 28, to Sunday, December 4, allows you to enjoy cocktails and nonalcoholic beverages that are paired with small bites of food, cocktail classes, tasting dinners, and happy hours at restaurants throughout the region. With 50 restaurants and venues currently participating in the event, everyone will be able to find the cocktail that’s right for them.
While the name indicates celebrating DC establishments, there are a few beloved NoVA participants as well: Wren, Yume Sushi, Celebration by Rupa Vira, Catoctin Creek Distillery, and Sfoglina.
DC Cocktail Week is presented by the Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington and a full list of the participating restaurants, in-house events, and other happenings is on the event’s website.
