The House at 406 Mill Street in Occoquan was built in 1750 - it is the oldest residence in the historic town of Occoquan on the Occoquan River.  At one time it was a residence for prominent local "personages".  Residents relay stories of a gentle ghost who occasionally rearranges the furniture.  Today, "The House is owned by a very proud sister-brother-wife team who have transformed it into "Tastefully Yours".  Their belief is "Life is too short not to eat gourmet"  Their product line includes chocolates, coffees, cheese, teas, jams, jellies, cookies, muffins, brownies, scones, gelato and fine wines..

Two interesting programs are:

Wine tastings are held every Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoon

They partnered with  4 More Travel to offer tours with emphasis on food and wine appreciation

One of the three owners, Pat Barney, is a fellow Rotarian and also Vice President of Occoquan River Communities.  In the few short months Occoquan River Communities has been in existence it has been the inspiration behind the Occoquan River Festival
