The chefs inspiring future generations. The winemakers crafting exceptional vintages. The bakers preserving treasured traditions. The floral designers creating beauty from the land. The entrepreneurs building thriving local food businesses. Salute to Women in Culinary & Agriculture honors these remarkable women while inviting guests to experience the creativity, craftsmanship, and dedication that shape our regional food community. Set among the gardens and vineyards of Hope Flower Farm & Winery, guests enjoy chef-crafted tastings, floral design demonstrations, educational discussions, artisan shopping, wine, live music, and interactive experiences while meeting accomplished women from across Virginia and West Virginia who are shaping the future of agriculture, hospitality, and culinary arts. More than a tasting event, it’s an opportunity to hear the personal stories behind every harvest, handcrafted product, and thriving local business while celebrating the women who help our regional food culture flourish.
