We’re a community of runners, hikers, bikers and ballplayers. We’re an outdoor playground, designed by Mother Nature, with class III and IV rapids running right through our downtown. A 52-mile bike trail runs along the James. The Richmond Marathon and Ukrop’s 10k are huge celebrations, and the whole region comes out to cheer on our local teams. In fact, we’re so sports-minded that the Washington Redskins have their training camp right in the center of the city. Add to that awesome hotels, beautiful venues, attractions, art, craft beer, more than 900 restaurants and a convenient location, and you’ve got a top choice for your next sports event. Welcome to RVA!

From indoor to outdoor facilities, the Richmond region has the fields, pitches, diamonds, venues and the dedicated staff to ensure your event is a huge success.

Gauthier Vineyard, LLC, is a family-owned working farm, equestrian center, vineyard and winery located in scenic New Kent County near the intersection of the Lafayette and Washington-Rochambeau trails to Yorktown. The owners, Mo and Sandi Gauthier, both retired Navy Captains, purchased their “Fair Winds” farm in 2010. Like most ground in the county, the farm is rich in history. The Gauthiers’ vines were planted by friends and family, followed by construction of the tasting room and wine making facility. In addition to their estate grapes, the Gauthier’s lease vines in the foothills overlooking the Shenandoah Valley in partnership with Randy and Karen Phillips, founder-owners of Cave Ridge Vineyard. Randy, an award winning vintner, oversees the wine making operations for Gauthier Vineyard. Gauthier Vineyard wines are 100% Virginia Grape, and the grapes are grown on the premises or on the leased vines. We have a pizza pavilion built around a wood-fired pizza oven we purchased from Kingsmill resorts. They had decided the oven was not adequately sized for their market. We have since added roasted oysters and chicken wings to our offerings. The menu varies, and our Facebook page is the best place to see what is on the menu any given week-end. In response to requests from our guests, we added a large fire pit down a stairway leading from the pizza pavilion.
