While in historic Leesburg, we checked out the Very Virginia Shop. Virginia is known for peanuts and they have the largest selection. If you're not allergic to peanuts, they will provide samples. Some of my favorite items were Allen's Scottish Shortbread, Barkley dog biscuits, beer can candles, Dizzy Pig seasonings, Henry's Hot Sauce, state shaped plush with arms/legs, Taste O' South BBQ Sauce, Valente's pasta, and Virginia Shaped Charcuterie Board.

As a California girl who visits Virginia once or twice a year to visit family, I *ALWAYS* visit this store to stock up on street taco peanuts and dill pickle peanuts to bring back home. I've had coworkers gush about these yummy treats, and I always tell them they should fly out to VA to get their own and support a small business. The shopkeeper (owner?) is a very nice lady who hands out samples and chats with us as we shop, so we feel very welcome whenever we stop by.

Very Virginia Shop is a Virginia gift shop. It looks a bit older and outdated, but it's really not that old. It's has been in its location for 17 years. We walked inside and were immediately greeted by an older lady. She asked where I'm visiting from, I told her Connecticut. She said "well, in Connecticut, you're known for Mystic Pizza. Here in Virginia we're known for our peanuts!" I never knew about Virginia peanuts. She handed me a few handfuls of different varieties of peanuts to sample. These peanuts are larger, drier, crunchier than others I've tried, and they have so many flavors. I don't mind peanuts, but they're not my favorite snack. In addition to the peanuts, they also sell the typical things one might find in a touristy gift shop. There's candles, magnets, tee shirts, and other items that say Virginia on them. I liked the outdated look of this little store. The lady working here was very friendly, if it weren't for her I would never know about the Virginia peanuts.

I visited about a month ago and I had a wonderful experience. The store is full of interesting Virginia and Loudoun County oriented items. One of the highlights for me was the peanut tastings offered by the lady at the counter (who by the way was a pleasure to talk to and went out of her way to help). I think I would go as far to say that this is my favorite store in Old Town!

We've always had wonderful visits to the Very Virginia store. It's a quirky and enjoyable gift shop that is perfect for any family or friends out of state or out of the country. The peanut samples are very cool. We've found the Butter Toffee Peanuts in particular are a huge hit. If you want to support local, it doesn't get easier than this!

Very cute shop with a nice selection of Virginia food products and souvenirs. I don’t remember the name of the woman assisting me, but she did a great job helping me select food items for 6 gift bags and even supplied the bags, ribbon and tissue at no extra charge. When I was reluctant to spend money on stickers for the bags, she came up with the great idea of using postcards instead and for a fraction of the cost of the stickers. I glued them to the bags and they really popped. If you’re looking for great gift ideas from Virginia, this is the place to shop!

Found this gem on a hunt for something representative of Virginia, to bring home for friends in MA. Sola (owner) was very accommodating, even opening the shop after hours for us to come. I came thinking I would just buy apple butter, but after many different samples of Virginia peanuts, we left with both peanuts and apple butter. The peanuts (garlic flavor) were a huge hit with our friends. My only regret is that we didn't buy enough to have a tin for ourselves. Thank you, Sola! A little bit of Leesburg made it up to Boston, and people are raving!

Went out of my way to visit this shop while being "home for the holidays" to bring back some gifts from our hometown for friends in Colorado. Upon entering the store, the employee was on her phone on speakerphone and acted inconvenienced that we came in. I brushed that off and kept looking around finding several things I was planning to buy including a Loudoun County sign because this is where my husband and I met. My immediate family couldn't make the trip to the store but were interested in what they had, so I tried to send pictures to them to see if they wanted anything and was yelled at. I was accused of trying to steal the owner's ideas for my own shop. It goes without saying that I did not make a purchase. I'm sure the items in the store are great (...though putting "Virginia" on magnets and signs really isn't that novel of an idea), but want to provide feedback to the "owners" that they lost a several hundred dollar purchase from me.
