I'd like to send food gifts with products from Virginia. Google turns up quite a few, but it's hard to tell the quality and some of them look pretty commercial/mass-produced.
If anyone has experience with a Virginia gift basket like this that they'd recommend, please post it! |

| Virginia Diner peanuts are good and packaged nicely for gifts. It’s an actual restaurant/shop in Wakefield (I don’t know if they’re actually made there or not, but they’re at least tasty!). The restaurant is good if you’re ever driving through there. |

Chocolates by Kelly in Richmond, Short Pump area
RVA has a couple of places making great moonshine. Belle Isle Moonshine. Not sure how shipping works. Usually stores like Fresh Market have good local selections. |

Barrel Oak Winery has a great port (and it's called Chocolate Lab, which is cute):

| I’d check out Cheesetique. They might have local products. Worth calling. Also there is a gift shop in Shirlington that sells state themed tea towels...I forget the name...also online here (different shop) : https://www.uncommongoods.com/product/state-dish-towel |
