Feast of Reason: Charlottesville Restaurant Day

Join us for a first of its kind, city-wide dinner event.

Charlottesville Feast of Reason takes place at multiple food and wine venues in Charlottesville and Albemarle County and is hosted in collaboration with the Charlottesville Albemarle Convention & Visitors Bureau; Monticello Wine Trail’s annual Monticello Wine Week; and The Center for Community Partnerships at UVA.

This Feast of Reason is co-hosted with the Monticello Wine Trail as a headliner event for the annual Monticello Wine Week and includes remarks from Emmy-winning food historian Deb Freeman and a family style dinner featuring four dishes and four wine pairings prepared by guest chef and 2026 James Beard Award semifinalist Leah Branch.

The Virginia Wine Collective is a new wine production facility and tasting room in Southern Albemarle County. Founded by Eastwood Farm and Winery, the space supports innovation and talent in the Monticello AVA with nine winemaker suites for independent winemakers.
