Before the week's icy cold set in, some of Richmond's finest set up portable shop for the Hill & Holler Cider Dinner on Sunday night, pairing fall flavors with the unofficial beverage of autumn.
Hill & Holler, the Richmond pop-up dining event, orchestrated a picturesque evening amid Libby Hill Park's titian leaves. Beneath a globe-bulb-lit tent, the Virginia Cider Week event featured Albemarle Ciderworks of North Garden, Potter's Craft Cider of Free Union, Foggy Ridge Cider of Dugspur, and Richmond's own Blue Bee Cider, served alongside bites from Dutch & Co., Comfort, Metzger Bar & Butchery, The Roosevelt and Heritage.
