Details

The historic Rising Sun Tavern will partner with 1781 Brewing Company and Wilderness Run Vineyards to host a special “Libations and Liberty” event on the eve of Independence Day, Friday, July 3rd. Guests can enjoy a tasting lineup featuring four different beers and two types of wine—plus a moment of shared history: abbreviated tours will be given at the tavern, and every hour, on the hour, we will raise a toast to our founding ideals and celebrate America’s 250th anniversary of independence.
This is a FREE event with a suggested donation of $2.50 per person (for our 250th!). Please register for the event at the link below. Rising Sun Tavern tours will take place all day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and beer / wine will be available for purchase in the courtyard from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Guests will also enjoy meeting a Revolutionary War veteran, a handbell demonstration, and activities presented by the Rappahannock Colonial Heritage Society.
Bring a friend, come ready to learn a little history and join us in honoring the spirit of independence—one toast at a time!
