Leesburg Vintner Celebrates Renovations With Grand Re-
Opening Ribbon Cutting On Thursday, July 21, 2011
Leesburg, VA (July 18, 2011) – At 6:00 pm, on Thursday, July 21, 2011, Town of Leesburg
officials will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony for the grand re-opening of the Leesburg Vintner,
located at 29 South King Street in Historic Downtown Leesburg. Vice Mayor Kevin D. Wright
will officiate.
Mike Carroll, owner of Leesburg Vintner, has refurbished the interior of his shop, increased his
beer and gourmet foods selection, and plans to host more beer and wine tastings. On the
shelves, the store features a vast selection of wines, along with gourmet cheeses, meats,
chutneys and snacks; much of which is produced locally. Leesburg Vintner has also partnered
with Fortessa, a Loudoun-based fine tableware company, to offer their wine glasses, decanters
and other products.
The grand re-opening celebration will feature a tasting of Virginia wines.
“Having been on this corner for almost 23 years, I am more confident now than ever that
Downtown Leesburg truly is a great place to own a business,” said Carroll. “I hope to be here
for many more years to come”.
“Leesburg Vintner owner Mike Carroll has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to
our Historic Downtown over the years,” said Economic Development Manager Marantha
Edwards. “We’re happy to celebrate this reinvestment and commitment in the Downtown and
look forward to the success of Mike’s new partnerships and products.”
