7/8 UPDATE:
Given a number of important internal factors and after thoughtful reflection with our board and partners, we’ve decided to reschedule this special evening for next year as part of Historic Germanna’s 70th Anniversary Celebration Dinner, aligning with the spirit of America’s 250th.
Those who purchased tickets will receive a full refund shortly. In the meantime, we hope you’ll save the date for the new event: Thursday, July 16, 2026. We are excited to partner again with Virginia Foothills Distillery and Chef Craig Hartman to create a truly unforgettable event.
Join Historic Germanna for an enchanting summer evening at the beautiful Virginia Foothills Distillery, where history, hospitality, and heritage come together in support of a meaningful cause. Held in conjunction with our Annual Conference and Reunion, this special evening offers guests a chance to enjoy exceptional food, world-class spirits, and the warm ambiance of one of Orange County’s premier destinations while advancing our mission and core programs.
Guests will enjoy a locally inspired dinner crafted by the team led by Craig Hartman at Exchange Cafe, along with signature cocktails and tastings that celebrate the region’s distilling traditions. Throughout the evening, we’ll offer opportunities to support Historic Germanna’s mission through a silent auction, raffles, and direct contributions—all benefiting our work in preservation, archaeology, and education.
Whether you’re a longtime supporter or new to Germanna, this is your chance to be part of something special—connecting past and present while investing in the future of our shared history.
Proceeds from this event support Historic Germanna’s ongoing work to preserve our historic and natural resources, expand public access and education, and uncover the stories that define our region.
