These Virginia Wineries Require Face Masks. Hallelujah.

Heart Face Mask

70+ Virginia wineries where you'll be extra-safe, and very cool.  

Much like your rebel kid brother telling your parents he doesn't need to wear his coat outside because he's not cold (in February), the country has divided itself into two camps: those who have no complaint about wearing face masks to help stop the spread of the COVID virus, and those who see masks as unnecessary, overly restrictive, or even infringing on their freedom.

We’ve been through this before: remember driving without seat belts? Smoking indoors? Licking the cake batter spoon? Some behaviors that are bad for us can take years, decades, to turn around. With the coronavirus, of course, we don’t have that kind of time.

So how to pick up the pace? Here's a thought: maybe instead of bashing our brothers, we should start in a different place: thanking, lauding, and celebrating those who put their coats on with swagger, and button them all the way to the top. Maybe even give those hot handsome devils a few extra treats. You know--make coat-wearing cool. 

Cool like, for example, these Virginia wineries, who've made face masks a sartorial must-have for their valued customers. They know that when your goal is to make customers feel like family, going to extra lengths to keep them healthy – even if it means making them sweat a little more, look a little silly, or give you the eye-roll – well, that’s just what you do.

At these wineries you’ll be asked to don a mask at all times - except while you're seated at your table or picnic blanket. 

[PS - I'm aware of only two mask-wearing distinctions at Virginia wineries: those that REQUIRE that you wear masks at all times except while seated -- those below -- and those that RECOMMEND it, but leave it up to you. Note, however, that ALL wineries require you to wear a mask any time you are moving around indoors.]
