About this Event

Join us for an unforgettable evening at Vermilion as we celebrate the essence of Virginian wines with Veritas Vineyards & Winery! Winemaker Emily Hodson will be joining us for a four-course Mid-Atlantic dinner by Chef Anthony Chittum, sharing her story and guiding guests through four exceptional wines from the Veritas vineyard.

Founded in 1999 by Andrew and Patricia Hodson, Veritas Winery is a family-owned gem nestled in the Monticello wine region with over 50 acres of vineyards. Guided by a commitment to quality and a passion for wine, Veritas crafts a diverse portfolio, from sparkling wines to balanced reds, rooted in the terroir of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Winemaker Emily Hodson, daughter of the founders, brings over 15 harvests of expertise to her role, blending old-world principles with cutting-edge innovation. Her philosophy of cultivating each varietal's natural expression showcases the vibrancy of Virginia's burgeoning wine scene.
