On Sunday, Feb. 26, the 86th Academy Awards were held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, 3,000 miles to the east, Middleburg held its own stylish Oscar-night celebration at Salamander Resort & Spa.

The evening featured special ballots to be cast by attendees. The live event was aired on several big screens, so revelers were able to watch the play-by-play.

The resort served a special menu in the living room to commemorate the evening and Greenhill Winery & Vineyards’ famous Blanc de Blancs, the same sparkler featured in the swag bags for top nominees, was poured.

Participants received awards for “best dressed” and “ballot winner”. Attendees were also given a chance to win their own “Middleburg Swag Bag” that included a luxurious stay at the Salamander Resort.
