Cider-Sangria Sundays Cider-Sangria Sundays Celebrate the weekend with a beverage staple: the cocktail. Don't miss this chance to add a new cider-centric beverage to your mixology toolbelt. We've developed a slew of Cider Sangrias to excite your tastebuds. From mimosas to craft creations, there is something for every palate. CHECKOUT THIS WEEK'S MENU Sangrias will be available for purchase by the glass all day or until we sell out! 11:00 am to 5:00 pm						Grafting Workshop Grafting Workshop Since apples do not reproduce true from seed, propagation depends on grafting the desired variety onto a reliable rootstock. Expert hands-on instruction by the Vintage Virginia Apples staff will introduce you to the fine art of grafting. Each participant will graft two trees from a choice of scionwood from the Vintage Virginia Apples collection to take home with them. Extra rootstock will be available for sale after this workshop. If you have them, feel free to bring a pair of handheld pruners and a grafting knife. If you do not have these tools, there will be several available during the class to practice with or you can purchase your own when you arrive. It's time to become the master of your Orchard!
