WOW!  What a spectacular weekend ahead!  If you don't have plans, MAKE THEM NOW.  Wineries will be open, I am sure all the patios will be open, and the weather will be a fabulous clear, sunny and 70 degrees.  Combine that with the crisp clarity of winter afternoons, and the vistas from our neighbor wineries will be AWESOME.

Come see us...and this could be your Saturday afternoon at www.thistlegatevineyard.com or www.aftonmountainvineyards.com or meet the new owners at www.firstcolonywinery.com

It's also Dave's birthday...come raise a glass to his accomplishments, at www.blenheimvineyards.com just a few miles up the road, where Kirsty Harmon is one of our favorite winemakers!

New Year’s Resolution #1…post more pictures, more often!

 

DSCN0692We know that everyone loves to see pictures!  I know I do.  Our friends at Experience Charlottesville on Facebook have some great pictures we should be sharing – I keep meaning to, but whew!  2012 just flew by…

Which is ok – here we are, excited for some new additions at High Meadows, not the least of which is our beautiful new gazebo ceiling mural.  Nearly complete – now we are looking for just the right light…maybe a Moravian star?  ALWAYS wanted one of these! or another fabulous painted metal floral chandelier?  But they are so hard to find!

Maybe we’ll take a vote…I’ll post pictures of the mural when completed, and we can all decide together. 

If you are planning a trip soon – our January special is ‘Lunch on Us’ with a 2-night stay…so make your reservations soon!  We’ll pack you a terrific locavore picnic lunch to enjoy wherever your day takes you.

A new addition to breakfast…our good friends at http://www.hudsonhenrybakingco.com/ are selling out wherever they go!  We are trying not to run out – and hope to be selling it in our new gift shop, opening the March – FINALLY!
