"Alexandria's Food & Wine Festival is a large single day community event located at John Carlyle Square, Old Town Alexandria.

This event focuses on showcasing the numerous diverse restaurants of Alexandria as well as Virginia’s wineries combined with the opportunity to give back to the community through local non-profit organizations. This is an exciting event, well anticipated by the local community that will transform John Carlyle Square into a lively festival completed with live entertainments, children’s activities, and cooking demonstrations.

It is easily accessible by car, Metrorail or Dash Bus. It is conveniently located just three blocks from the King Street Metro Station and four blocks from the Eisenhower Avenue Metro Station on Metrorail’s Yellow and Blue Lines.

We give back to the community: active duty military families will benefit from one (1) free book per family and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Carpenter's Shelter of Alexandria.
