STONE TOWER WINERY
This winery and their owners, the Huber family, are very dear to Chef Daniela’s heart. This is where she met Virginia wines for the first time and where she worked right after she arrived to the area, both in the tasting room and for some culinary events. It still is what she calls her happy place. On some occasional weekdays, you can find her and Terri there, having a glass and enjoying some peace and quiet.
Stone Tower Winery
Set atop Hogback Mountain on over 400 exquisite acres, their vineyards enjoy a terroir consisting of underlying rocky soils, undulating terrain, and a unique microclimate. Go taste their wine, if you still have not done so, and maybe get a bottle (or a case, who’s counting?) for your next Cucinamore party!

DUCA BAR COMPANY
Daniel offers the following bar options for your private events: Full Open Cocktail Bar - Signature Bar - Single Spirit Bar - Concept Bar - Beer and Wine Bar - Mocktail Bar - Combination Bar
“Cocktails are so much more than just drinks. They're the basis for reunion, the great intellectual lubricant, the social stimulant of princes and paupers alike. If done properly, they can create the most transcendent of experiences, bridging the gap between reality and fantasy.
This is why I started Duca Bar Company.
Allowing the great Sicilian traditions of celebration and hospitality, family and faith to guide me, I hope to show you the wonders to be found in the spirits of the world, crafted just for you, behind the balance of the bar.”

Spring House Farm Store
SPRING HOUSE FARM
That’s where we get most of our meats and eggs. We love their Self-Serve Farm Store
It’s open 7 days a week 8am - 8pm and they are well stocked with a variety of meats, eggs, dairy, drinks and snacks!
16848 Hamilton Station Rd, Hamilton VA 20158
CAFFE’ BOTTEGA ITALIANA
This brand new addition to our Leesburg vendors is where we source most of our specialty cured meats and cheese. David, the owner, knows what we look for and how to slice the coldcuts properly without Chef having to say a word. It’s a refreshing trip to an Italian salumeria and we love to shop there and have a chit chat in our native language when we do.
8 Fort Evans Rd, Leesburg, VA 20176 - (571) 352-6067
Open Saturdays, 9am to 1pm, it is your one-stop place to find the freshest local produce, meat, seafood, baked items and more. Grown from just 10 vendors in 2017 to over 120 in 2022, this market is the largest and most visited market in Virginia. Still, the concept behind it is the one dear to our heart: simply building bridges between local farmers and their clients, whether individuals, families, or professionals in the food industry.
Chef Daniela and Dan Hine
We owe to Dan Hine, the founder of EatLoCo, our very first introductions to the local farmers and for this we will always be grateful.
Visit the market, when you get a chance, and learn more about EatLoCo in this video.
