A Solstice Wine Dinner at Southwest Mountains Vineyards<\/h2>\n

Held from 7 to 11 p.m. at the vineyard, the dinner featured a multi-course meal from Luce<\/a>, with each course paired with Southwest Mountains Vineyards<\/a> wines. As daylight faded, the celebration continued around the firepit with floral crowns, a festive maypole and firelight.<\/p>\n

For the culinary component, Southwest Mountains Vineyards partnered with Luce, a Charlottesville restaurant known for handmade pasta and Italian-inspired cooking. The restaurant prepared a multi-course dinner specifically for the event, with each course accompanied by a Southwest Mountains Vineyards wine.<\/p>\n

The collaboration brought together two elements of the Charlottesville-area food and wine scene in a vineyard setting just outside the city. The evening was designed around the season, with dinner beginning during golden hour with a festive wrapping of ribbons around two May Poles that the guests had fun with before transitioning into a more relaxed nighttime gathering.<\/p>\n

Live music added to the atmosphere, with Charlottesville guitarist Vincent Zorn performing during the dinner. Zorn is a rumba flamenco guitarist whose music draws on flamenco, Latin and jazz influences. His rhythmic style provided a lively soundtrack as guests dined and lingered into the evening with a gathering around the firepit afterwards.<\/p>\n
