October 2023 Issue

Join us this October for a trip along Virginia’s east coast with Gordon Cambell’s incredible aerial photography. We also have an exclusive look at what the Symphony Designer House on Monument Avenue looked like before, when it was in the care of Helen Marie Taylor (see our full story online).

For you foodies, get a taste of D.C.’s Call Your Mother Deli in food truck form, a roundup of Virginia-made hot sauces, some delicious recipes from Farmasea in Gloucester, and an essay at one family’s apple butter-making tradition. Don’t miss our local gin guide and the scandal behind the ABC’s bourbon lottery.

Our Health+Wellness section includes our Top Hospital list, hospital news, and a look at a Korean Spa fit for a king in Northern Virginia. We also explore the new National Botanic Garden near Chantilly with its 550ft man-made mountain as well as the story behind the marriage of King William and Queen Mary.
