December Girl’s Night Out at Mermaid Winery

Posted on Oct 13, 2025 by Katie Carter

 

Why Every Woman in Hampton Roads Needs to Mark Her Calendar for Girl’s Night Out!

When was the last time you had a night that was just about YOU? No kids asking for snacks, no partner wondering where you put the remote, no work emails buzzing in your pocket. Just you, connecting with other incredible women over good food and great conversation.

If you can’t remember, then you DEFINITELY need to be at our annual holiday Girl’s Night Out event at Mermaid Winery in Virginia Beach.

What Makes This Different?

Here’s the thing – this isn’t your typical networking event where everyone’s handing out business cards and talking shop. This is about creating genuine connections with women who get it. Women who understand the juggling act we all face, whether you’re navigating a career change, dealing with family challenges, or just trying to figure out what’s next in your life.

And here’s what makes it even better: it’s completely free. No strings attached, no sales pitch, no requirement to be going through a divorce or custody case. Just show up as you are.

The Details That Matter

When: Wednesday, December 10th, 6-8pm
Where: Mermaid Winery, Shore Drive, Virginia Beach
Who: Women only, 21+
What’s Included: Free appetizers and your first drink on us
What You Need: Just yourself (and, if you like, a holiday gift donation for Tidewater Friends of Foster Care)

Mermaid Winery isn’t just any venue – it’s the perfect spot for an evening of authentic conversation. The atmosphere is relaxed, the drinks are fantastic, and the energy is always welcoming.

Why You Should Come (Even If You’re Hesitant)

“I don’t know anyone there.” Perfect! Neither does anyone else when they first arrive. That’s literally the point – to meet new people and expand your circle.

“I’m too busy.” Two hours. That’s it. You spend more time than that scrolling social media this week. This is two hours invested in yourself and your well-being.

“I’m not going through any legal issues.” Great! This isn’t about legal problems – it’s about women supporting women, period.

“I’m not really a ‘networking’ person.” This isn’t networking in the stuffy, business card exchange sense. Think of it more like making friends as an adult (which we all know is harder than it should be).

What Actually Happens at These Events

Real talk: You’ll walk in, grab a drink, and probably feel a little awkward for about five minutes. Then you’ll start talking to someone about something completely random – maybe the wines, maybe her shoes, maybe how you both can’t figure out TikTok.

Before you know it, you’re deep in conversation about everything from career pivots to favorite Netflix shows to the best coffee shops in the area. You’ll exchange numbers with at least one person, and you might just leave with plans for another get-together.

The conversations are real. The laughter is genuine. And for a couple of hours, you get to be just you – not mom, not employee, not caregiver – just you.

Building Community, One Connection at a Time

Here’s what we’ve learned from hosting these events: women are incredible when they come together without agenda. The support, the wisdom sharing, the pure fun that happens when we create space for authentic connection – it’s magic.

We’ve seen new friendships form, business collaborations start, and support networks develop that extend far beyond one evening. Some of our past attendees now have their own monthly coffee dates, workout partnerships, and group chats that keep them connected.
