Sipping Away Summer at Goodstone
There is something undeniably magical about the Goodstone Inn & Restaurant in Middleburg, Virginia. Nestled in the heart of hunt country, this charming estate captures the essence of Virginia’s countryside elegance. With its classic style, warm wooden interiors, and picturesque surroundings, Goodstone Inn is the perfect blend of refined luxury and rustic charm. It was the ideal setting for their "Last Sips of Summer" dinner event, a night dedicated to celebrating the vibrant flavors of rosé wine and the summer's bounty of tomatoes.

Summertime Soirée Favorites
Hosting a summertime soiree is one of my greatest joys, whether it's a lively outdoor BBQ with friends or an intimate dinner with family on the deck. The right touches can transform any gathering into a memorable event, and I believe that thoughtfully chosen stemware, napkins, and hosting accessories play a pivotal role in setting the stage for a wonderful meal. Elegant wine glasses and sturdy tumblers enhance the experience of savoring chilled rosé or a refreshing cocktail. Beautifully patterned napkins add a touch of sophistication, while stylish serving trays and utensils ensure both functionality and flair. Each element, from the soft glow of lanterns to the inviting comfort of outdoor cushions, contributes to an ambiance that welcomes guests and creates an atmosphere of effortless summer charm.
