Experience a wine tasting unlike any other, set against the backdrop of the cemetery’s quiet landscape and the historic 1858 house. This unique event blends history, ambiance, and curated wines for an evening that celebrates both heritage and hospitality.

Carol Kaufmann is a Rosemont resident and certified wine consultant with a passion for showcasing Virginia’s growing wine industry. With more than 300 wineries across the state, Virginia has emerged as a thriving American wine region, gaining national recognition for wines that reflect the character of its land and soil. Often compared to Napa Valley in its early years, the industry is also a rapidly expanding economic driver.

Carol will guide guests through a tasting of six Virginia wines, highlighting what makes the state’s grapes stand out, while attendees enjoy a selection of appetizers.
