The Experience, Richmond: Riggers Loft Wine Co Wine + Vibe

The Experience:

Your new afternoon wine beverage!

Come down to the water and try Riggers’ Sangria Waves! It’s a Sangria made from white wine, instead of the traditional red, and fresh fruit. One may not be enough!

Plus, they have an exciting afternoon of music for you on Saturday, June 14 at 2pm! The BRAZILIAN PROJECT will move you with Samba and Bossa Nova from Rio, country dance music from the Northeast of Brazil and Jazz from Sao Paulo.

Brazilian jazz is also about beautiful, flowing harmony and memorable melodies. They play the music of great Brazilian composers – and some of their own songs too. It’s Samba, Bossa Nova, Samba-Funk, Baiao, Forro, Frevo, Choro, Mojo and beats they don’t have names for!

While sipping and vibing, enjoy some tasty bites from Chef Frank Miller’s pop-up Kitchen Loft. Here’s what’s on the menu:

Pizzas: All pizzas are 12″ pizza and on their local honey/extra virgin olive oil dough. Margherita, Roasted Veggie, Artisan Italian Sausage or Pepperoni and the Cote D’azur with shrimp and pesto. Gluten-free options are available upon request. Pop up also includes Loft House Salad, Caesar Salad and Crispy Brussel Sprouts tossed in shaved Parmigiano cheese with lemon juice and garlic butter. Yum. And of course, for Dessert: New Orleans Beignets.

Grab your friends and head down to the water. You won’t be sorry. Plus, they can’t wait to see you!
