History:
Family owned and operated since 1973, Wine and Cake Hobbies began as Virginia Winemaker Supply, selling only wine and beer making equipment and ingredients (founder, Jim Eversole's hobby). Within two years, Jim's wife, AnnaBelle, joined the business and started selling supplies in cake decorating and candy making and offered classes, as well. In 1976, the store relocated and underwent several expansions, including an extensive party and bridal shop and gourmet & catering products. At present, three generations and extended family members handle the day to day operations.

Classes are taught year-round in our large, full-size classroom. Learn everything from wine making to candy making! Kid's classes too!
