VIRGINIA CITY, Nev. — Grandma’s Fudge, Red Dog Pizza and the Bucket of Blood evoke memories for anyone who has been to Virginia City, a historic community 25 miles south of Reno. It’s hard to visit the town without indulging in a sweet treat or a cool drink at one of its iconic spots. Experience many of them at Taste of the Comstock, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 20, when you can get a one-day ticket to more than 20 different Virginia City restaurants, bars, shops and more.
“It’s not only about great food,” Deny Dotson, Virginia City tourism director, said. “While you’ll definitely get that, this event allows people to sample everything we have to offer on the Comstock, all in one day. From candy to fine dining and from a Bloody Mary to offerings at our bed and breakfasts, it’s a different dine-around event that is based in our historic culture.”
Tickets, $20 in advance or $25 the day of the event, include a wrist band and map to all participating locations where samples of the best and most unique fare are available. Locations include the Mackay Mansion, Core at the Cider Factory, Mustang Ranch Steakhouse and many more. To purchase a ticket, click here.
“For someone who has never been to Virginia City, this is the perfect event to come see what we’re all about,” Dotson said. “And for those who’ve been here often, they might discover something completely new.”
