‘Tis the Weekend to Eat, Shop, Tour!

by Angelika Taylor

If your idea of a good time is spending a few hours touring some of Virginia-Highland’s most unique and beautiful homes, and sampling tasty offerings from some of the neighborhood’s best, we’ve got you covered this weekend.

Make plans now, if you haven’t already, to attend the 21th Anniversary Virginia-Highland Tour of Homes. Tour hours are Saturday December 5, 10 AM – 5 PM and Sunday December 6, 11 AM –  4 PM (food tastings Noon – 4 PM both days).   This year’s ticket sales, will call, and volunteer check-in will be in John Howell Park (corner of Barnett St. and Virginia Ave).

This year’s tour features six beautiful homes, plus a history tour of our own neighborhood. Local restaurants, such as Murphy’s, Highland Tap, Atkins Park, Marlow’s Tavern, Savi Provisions, Fontaine’s, The Cook’s Warehouse, and San Francisco Coffee Roasting Co. will provide tastings at each of the Tour homes.

The Tour of Homes is one of VaHi’s largest annual fundraisers. Event proceeds benefit VHCA and support community initiatives such as school grants and neighborhood park improvements, as well as safety, planning and preservation efforts.

The Tour of Homes experience is the perfect way to kick off your holiday season. Bring your family and friends out to hear the Grady High School Chorus and the SPARK choir perform, and see why Creative Loafing readers again voted Virginia-Highland the city’s Most Walkable Neighborhood in CL’s 2014 Best of Atlanta competition.
See you this weekend at the 2015 VaHi Tour of Homes!
