The Virginia Governor's Cup® is one of the most stringent competitions in the U.S. Each year, world-class judges gather to sample hundreds of the best Virginia wines. The highest 12-ranking red and white wines will become the Governor's Cup® Case, with one bottle taking home the coveted Governor's Cup®. For the second year, Best in Show Cider will be awarded. The competition is hosted by the Virginia Wineries Association.
The V Foundation will be hosting a silent auction with proceeds going toward cancer research. The V Foundation for Cancer Research was founded in 1993 by ESPN and the late Jim Valvano. Since 1993, the foundation has funded more than $290 million in cancer research grants nationwide.
