From celebrations dedicated to peaches, chocolate, watermelon and wine, the state of Virginia has it all.  Culinary festivals occur throughout the state year round, to any time is a really great time to plan a visit to this beautiful state in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Aside from the incredible natural splendor of the region, you will find hospitable and warm folks where ever you travel, from the wineries, to the chocolate factories, to the welcoming warmth of some of the most incredible bed and breakfasts and hotel accommodations in Virginia.

The first festival of the New Year is the Virginia Wine Showcase, taking place for two days in February, the 6th and the 7th, which offers the opportunity to sample more than three hundred wines that are produced locally.  This is also a great time to view, and perhaps purchase, incredible works of art by local artists of the region.  In April, the annual Shad Planking activities get under way.  This is more like a political rally, that of course involves food and a bit of fun as well, and has become a very important aspect in the political arena of the state.

On May first, get ready for the “Blacksburg Fork and Cork”.  This is a culinary festival of the arts, visual and performing arts, as well as the artistic creations of the chefs of the area, and the makers of regional wines.  Cooking demonstrations, and of course-scrumptious tastings, as well as live entertainment serve to make this one of THE places to be to celebrate May Day in full form and fashion.  For the 12 and the 13th of June, head to Richmond, Virginia if the glorious dishes of Italian cuisine are to your liking.  The Saint Joseph Italian Festival provides food and fun, and oh-so delicious and traditional Italian fare.

October in Virginia?  Bring in the oysters and get ready to shuck.  The Chincoteague Oyster Festival marks the beginning of the season.  This is an all you can eat affair, with oysters prepared in numerous ways, along with crabs, clams, spirits and entertainment.  The state of Virginia.  They love food, and they love to share it, so if you are lucky enough to be traveling through during the times of a festival, your belly will be full and your taste buds will thank you!
