What better way to celebrate World Tourism Day! 🌍 I had the distinct honor of welcoming and escorting Mexican Ambassador, Esteban Moctezuma Barragán, his wife, distinguished members of the Embassy of Mexico, and the Mexican Cultural Institute D.C. on a tour of Fairfax County. We explored the region’s rich heritage with a visit to George Washington's Mount Vernon followed by a tasting at Paradise Springs Winery, where we also learned about its history and Virginia’s agricultural traditions. We concluded the day with a tasting of River-Sea Chocolates, gaining insight into their impressive commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship. It was a memorable day exploring Visit Fairfax (Fairfax County, VA) celebrating tourism, culture, and collaboration! #WorldTourismDay #embamexeua #mexculturedc #virginiaisforlovers
