Dinner Party RVA

Three wines. One winery. Your new go-to bottles.

This Thursday, we’re pouring the complete Villa Roca lineup from Languedoc, France—a fresh, easy-drinking trio that showcases everything we love about southern French wines.

Made from organically farmed grapes and crafted with minimal intervention in the cellar, these wines are vibrant, expressive, and incredibly food-friendly.

We’ll be pouring:
• Le P’tit Roca Blanc – crisp, citrus-driven, and refreshing
• Le P’tit Roca Rosé – bright, juicy, and mineral-driven
• Le P’tit Roca Rouge – fresh red fruit with a touch of spice

Whether you’re looking for an everyday white, a porch-worthy rosé, or a light red to enjoy with dinner (or even slightly chilled), there’s a bottle here with your name on it.

Join us Thursday from 5–7 PM. No ticket required—just stop by, taste, and discover your favorite.

Hi friends,

A few things happening at Dinner Party this week...

Thursday, July 23 | In-Store Tasting (5–7 PM)

Join us this Thursday as our friend Jose from Fantasma Wines pours a lineup of exciting bottles, including a few new arrivals to the shop alongside some favorite wines that are finally back in stock. Stop by, taste, and discover your next go-to bottle.

🥒 You asked for it.

We added a second date.

Our first Snack Table: Beyond the Pickle class sold out so quickly that we added another evening—and there are just a few seats still available.

Think crunchy pickles, briny bites, tangy pantry favorites, thoughtful wine pairings, and a table full of people who love good food. It's part tasting, part entertaining inspiration, and one of our favorite classes we've ever put together.

If you've been meaning to grab a ticket, this is your last chance before the table fills up.

Pickles, Wine & One Last Chance 🥒

You asked… so we added another one. 🥒

Our Friday Snack Tables: Beyond the Pickle sold out, and after lots of requests (and your votes!), we’ve added a second class:

📅 Wednesday, July 22
🕕 6–7 PM

Expect all the briny, crunchy, pickly goodness—with very limited seating.

Grab your spot at the link in our bio before this one disappears too.

This Thursday, we're excited to welcome Chef Kathryn Schmitz, founder of VegTable—a Ricmond company creating some of our favorite vegetable-forward party foods.

If you've been in the shop recently, you've probably noticed two new additions to our pantry shelves. Kathryn's jams and spreads have quickly become favorites around here, and once you taste them, you'll understand why.

We'll be featuring:

• Berbere Spiced Tomato Jam — Virginia-grown tomatoes cooked down into a sweet, savory, gently spicy spread with warming Ethiopian spices. Rich, deeply flavorful, and wildly versatile.

• Strawberry, Rose & Black Pepper Compote — Peak-season strawberries layered with delicate dried rose petals and just enough black pepper to keep things interesting. It's one of those pantry finds you'll start putting on everything.

We'll be pouring a handful of wines alongside these incredible spreads and sharing plenty of pairing inspiration along the way. Whether you're building your next cheese board, looking for a hostess gift, or simply love discovering something new, this tasting is for you.

We can't wait to introduce you to VegTable—and we have a feeling these are about to become permanent staples in both our pantry and yours.

Not In The Wine Club Yet?!

If you've ever asked us, "What's your favorite bottle right now?"—this is exactly what the Wine Club is.

Every month, we hand-select three wines that we're genuinely excited about. These are the bottles we're opening at home, pouring for friends, and can't wait to introduce to you. Each box is thoughtfully curated around a seasonal theme and features wines that are brought in exclusively for Wine Club members—you won't find them on our shelves.

Think of it as putting your neighborhood wine shop in charge of choosing the three best bottles you'll drink that month.

Sign up by the end of the month to receive August's Wine Club.

• Free in-store pickup
• Nationwide shipping available
• Also available as a one-time gift for the wine lover in your life

Because great wine is even better when someone you trust has already done the curating.

This Thursday: Wine + Dips and Jams from VegTable

New Wines at Thursday's Free Tasting

Thursday | 5–7 PM

We've got a fresh lineup of new arrivals, and Michael from Native Selections will be here pouring them himself.

On the table:

• A juicy, chillable 1L Barbera from Italy that's made for sharing.
• A beautifully aromatic orange wine from Austria that's fresh, textured, and incredibly easy to love.
• A crisp, bright Sauvignon Blanc from Argentina that drinks far above its price point (and just might become your new house white).

These are all brand-new to the shop, and we can't wait to introduce them. Whether you're looking for your next weeknight bottle or something a little outside your usual comfort zone, this is a great chance to taste before you buy.

As always, it's free to attend—just stop by anytime between 5 and 7 PM.

Snack Table Returns

A Pantry Pairing Club by Dinner Party

Our monthly Snack Table series is back with Second Edition: Beyond the Pickle.

This month is a celebration of pickles—and everything crunchy, tangy, and briny in between.

Together we'll explore the pantry staples that bring brightness and bite to every gathering, with thoughtfully paired wines and plenty of unexpected combinations you'll immediately want to recreate at home. Think pickles, olives, peppers, cornichons, and all the little things that somehow disappear first from the snack table.

Friday, July 24
• 6:00–7:00 PM
• $45 per person
• Limited Seating

If you joined us for The Art of the Dip, you know these evenings are equal parts tasting, inspiration, and gathering around great food and wine. If you missed the first one, we'd love to have you at the table for this edition.

Reserve your seat before it's gone—we have just 12 spots available.
