An Hour with One of our Booksellers?

This Might Be the Most Thoughtful Gift We’ve Ever Offered

An hour of thoughtful selection, literary discovery, and quiet enchantment.

Step into Middleburg Books—our jewel-box haven of deep teal shelves, starry ceilings, and nods to The Secret Garden —and let yourself drift into the magic of stories waiting to be found. The Curated Book Tasting is your invitation to pause, linger, and experience the art of book selection as something unhurried, personal, and quietly luxurious.

During this private hour, you’ll settle into a warm conversation with one of our skilled booksellers -book-obsessed guides who understand the transformative, even curative, power a well-chosen story can hold. Together, you’ll talk about your reading tastes, the characters who have stayed with you, and the kinds of books you’re craving at this moment in your life.

For morning appointments, you’ll enjoy your choice of a warm beverage and pastry; for evening sessions, we’ll offer a sip and a snack suited to the quieter glow of the end of the day.

From that conversation, your bookseller - or “book sommelier” will gather a “tasting flight” of books—a curated stack chosen with intuition, insight, and an attuned sense of what stories might delight, intrigue, or gently restore you. You’ll explore them together, discovering why each title was selected and how it might speak to your imagination or spirit.

This isn’t simply choosing what to read next.
It’s the experience of being deeply understood as a reader.
