Inaugural Corks & Caps Passport Program Showcases Orange County Vineyards and Breweries
By: Orange County Communications Department
Craft beverage connoisseurs have taken increasing notice of Orange County over the last decade. Long recognized for viticultural excellence, the local brewery scene has also been making headway. With that in mind, the Economic Development and Tourism Office is launching a new passport program, Corks & Caps, encouraging residents and visitors to create their own beverage trail and be rewarded for visiting each of our 12 wineries and breweries. Those interested should begin a Corks & Caps quest by downloading a passport from www.corksandcapsva.com. Then, it is simply a matter of making “ rounds ” at each of the wineries and breweries, being sure to have the passport stamped onsite by each location. Stamps will be available May 28 through September 5, 2022. Following completion, the
passport should be mailed to the Office of Economic Development & Tourism. Once the completed passport is verified, a limited - edition, commemorative T - shirt will be sent to the participant. Supplies are limited . Orange County staff were excited to have all of Orange County ’ s wineries and breweries participate in this brand - new initiative. “ Orange County is home to a robust craft beverage scene as well as agriculture industry, and we want folks to come out and experience it. Whether you are a local or a tourist, I encourage you to get out and support these businesses, ” said Rose Deal, Economic Development Director.
The list of participating locations includes: • Barboursville Vineyards • Chateau MerrillAnne Vineyard • Honah Lee Vineyard • Horton Vineyards • Reynard Florence Vineyard • Sweet Vines Farm Winery • Well Hung Tasting Room and Restaurant • Champion Ice House • Iron Pipe Alewerks • Patch Brewing Company • The Light Well • Unionville Brewing Company
