Embarking on a delightful journey for all food and wine enthusiasts, we’re thrilled to introduce LoCo Eats! A Charming Annual Celebration of Food & Wine!

The Restaurant at Patowmack Farms in Lovettsville, Virginia, sought our support for the launch of LoCo Eats! A Celebration of Food & Wine, and we at 829 DESIGN had the pleasure of creating a custom logo, website, and social media branding to spread the word.

LoCo Eats! was born from a desire to showcase the diverse culinary scene of Loudoun County. Bringing together chefs, farmers, and winemakers for a day-long celebration, the event allowed the local community to savor the flavors of regional restaurants. Plus, it gave back to the community by donating a portion of the proceeds to Mobile Hope, the sponsored charity.

This family-friendly event offered a day of fun activities and a feast for the senses, featuring exquisite cuisine from the region’s top chefs, perfectly paired with a variety of wines. A heartfelt thank you to The Restaurant at Patowmack Farms for the opportunity to raise awareness in the Loudoun County community, supporting local farmers and the commendable cause of Mobile Hope.
