A Sunday Well-spent

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time spent at Little Washington Winery. We did a 2-hour wine tasting event which was very informative.

Shenandoah Valley

Stayed at a VRBO, “The Great Escape” and it was beautiful❣️( hot tub was great though too hard to get into because of my handicap) but with my husband there I was able to use it!! Went to several wineries (don’t miss Brix and Columns-our favorite!!) ate very good Mexican food, and thoroughly LOVED Skyline Drive-will go back there for sure!!

And tasting event with friends

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Carl is a wealth of knowledge on why and he also makes it fun. This is the second time we have been there and we will be coming back.

The Grands Lern About Wine!

What a great way to introduce our grandchildren who are just beginning to learn about the intricacies of wine to how it’s made and how to drink it and with what to drink it!
