December 2019 issue

In the December issue of Virginia Living , meet the 24 winners of our annual Made in Virginia Awards, the many skilled, enthusiastic, creative Virginians who make delicious food, thoughtful gifts, nourishing beauty items, and gorgeous décor. In honor of Virginia Oyster Month and Virginia Cider Week, both celebrated in November, we reached out to local chefs to share their favorite oyster recipes and cider pairings from makers across the Commonwealth, and we invite you to head out to several dozen holiday activities and celebrations highlighted in our Events, Take Note, Dance, and Drink sections, including Nutcracker performances, giant gingerbread displays, Christmas markets, tree lighting parties, and cocktail classes. We also introduce you to Scoot’s BBQ in Gloucester Point, the winner of our first BBQ Bracket Battle. At last, check out our Top Hospital Awards in our annual Hospitals & Health Care supplement, recognizing 50 hospitals for excellence in patient care. Pick up an issue today!
