about our team

Meet the Family Behind Cork and Keg Tours

We’re Nich, Julissa, and Peter Kendall—a family that turned our passion for Loudoun County’s wine and beer scene into something special. When Cork and Keg Tours started in 2016, we had a simple goal: create fun, personalized tours that showcase the best of DC’s Wine Country® while making every guest feel like family.

MEET OUR TEAM

Nich Kendall

Loudoun Native Chief Executive Officer

Loudoun County native with deep roots in Round Hill. Nich’s local connections and insider knowledge open doors to extraordinary experiences. A University of Tennessee grad with Amazon operations experience, he’s now a Certified Tourism Ambassador creating seamless tours. When not showing guests his favorite hidden spots, he’s cheering on DC sports or talking wine with local makers.

Julissa Kendall

Director of Marketing & Business Development

Brooklyn-born Queens College grad (at just 19!) who brings precision from her business background to every tour detail. As both marketing director and Certified Tourism Ambassador, she crafts the special touches that make each experience memorable. Loves crossword puzzles, countryside hikes, and personalizing your wine adventure.

Peter Kendall

Chief Happiness Officer

Our youngest team member – train enthusiast, firetruck aficionado, and official snack tester. His joy reminds us why we love what we do.
