Local Drinkeries: Greater Williamsburg is home to the Williamsburg Tasting Trail, local breweries, distilleries and wineries that offer a unique perspective into the Virginia beverage scene. Between fun events like Yoga and a Pint, handmade rum like it would’ve been made in 1720 or tastings with historic, honey-based mead.
