Alexandria, Virginia sits just across the river from DC but Old Town feels far removed with its cobblestone streets and charming rowhomes. When visiting DC, we always suggest that people take the time to explore this little nearby gem! It’s easy to arrive by car, rideshare, Metro, or even by Water Taxi.
Enjoy tastings from locally-owned restaurants which contribute to the story we share about this little slice of Northern Virginia. Along the way we will visit a classic spot that has been a mainstay for over 40 years; a restaurant with award-winning dishes, and classic bistro with European roots.
Explore the pretty streetscapes, the waterfront, pubic art pieces, and the architecture while you learn about the evolution of this small city from your insightful guide. From the Civil War to Civil Rights to present day, Old Town has played an instrumental part in this country’s history. Come and get a taste of history.
In addition to carefully selected tastings and fascinating history, your experience includes (electronic) photos taken by your guide on tour, as well a meaningful donation to feed a local person in need.
