The Ledbury Quail Hunt

Ledbury, one of our favorite menswear stores, has been hosting an annual Quail Hunt/Gather in Goochland, Virginia since 2011 for employees and special customers.  For the 5th annual Quail Hunt/Gather, they decided to open the event up to the public and we of course jumped at the chance to attend.  While the actual hunt is still reserved for Ledbury employees, the after party was well worth the trip.

For $45 a person, we had access too all-you-can-eat small plates prepared by some of the best chefs in Richmond, endless craft cocktails featuring Bulleit Bourbon, beer and wine from Hardywood and Veritas Vineyards, fresh shucked oysters, and hard apple cider.  Chefs from The Roosevelt, Metzger, and Heritage cooked up a steady stream of pint sized portions of duck confit cavatelli, grilled short ribs, and braised rabbit brunswick stew.

Throughout the day we enjoyed fly fishing lessons, archery demonstrations, and live music.

And Ledbury even released a special capsule collection of menswear and accessories, sold only at the event.

We will definitely be keeping our eyes open for next year's Quail Hunt/Gather.
