As far as I’m concerned in order to thoroughly enjoy eating and boozing your surroundings are extremely important! I’ll go so far as too say when I visit a winery the “view” can enhance the quality of the wine I’m drinking by leaps and bounds. Take a look at the Charlottesville area wineries I visited recently and the sights I got to behold……

Clear blue sky at Stinson Vineyards

The lovely entrance to Grace Estate Winery

The rolling hills you see from King Family Vineyards

Directly above at First Colony Winery

The garden and view from Barboursville Winery

Stayed tuned for the 2nd Annual Musing awards the be published soon (in the meantime you may want to review last year’s winners published in March of 2015)!
