Richmond's newest distillery, Virago Spirits, hosts the LGBTQ Chamber's first event of the year. Tickets include rum cocktails with cheese pairings, a private distillery tour, and an intimate conversation with artist Emily Herr. Members receive special event pricing.

Virago's beautiful tasting room is a hidden gem with its cocktail bar, luxe lounge seating and cozy fireplace. Emily Herr created an inspiring panoramic mural surrounding the tasting room.

Emily is the founder of the Girls! Girls! Girls! mural project. She creates public visual space for a realistic, positive representation of women. She will share the story behind Virago Spirits' mural and discuss art's role in intersectionality and empowerment. Her art talk begins at 7 p.m. and is followed by the distillery tour.

This event is a fundraiser for the Richmond Business Alliance, and supports educational programming and community outreach.
