September is Virginia Spirits Month — the perfect excuse to proudly support local and save while you’re at it.
Virginia’s distilling tradition spans over 400 years, and today, more than 80 distilleries across the commonwealth blend that rich legacy with bold innovation. Whether you’re stocking up on your favorites or looking for something new, now’s the moment to explore the spirit of Virginia.
There truly is no better time to shop local spirits. All month long, you’ll find more than 200 Virginia-made spirits are 20% off — whether you’re stopping by the tasting room or visiting your nearest Virginia ABC store.
If you’re new to Virginia spirits, you’ll quickly learn that just about anything you could want is being made right here, and that craftsmanship is happening in every corner of the state. Here’s why you should make the most of this month:
If you’re unsure where to start among the 200+ discounted bottles, we don’t blame you. One option that won’t steer you wrong is starting with the crème de la crème.
Be sure to seek out the “Best in Class” winners from the First Landing Cup competition — they represent Virginia’s peak craftsmanship this year. Think exceptional whiskeys, top-flight gins and standout vodkas. These bottles are perfect for gifting, cocktail experiments or enhancing your home bar with something truly celebrated.
