You are more than welcome to join us.  Where: The Acorn Inn, Nelson County Each room will cost $55 per night / Single Occupancy and $65 per night / Double Occupancy. We do ask that no pets be brought along on this trip as we will all be staying in The Inn. The Acorn Inn is a bed & breakfast so breakfast is included in the price. We will grab lunch while we're out and about on Saturday and Saturday night we can have a cookout at The Inn or grab dinner at a local restaurant.  What: We will tour local wineries & enjoy some great roads on Saturday then wander our way home on Sunday. Here are some of the wineries that we plan on hitting (open to suggestion & discussion, of course): Wintergreen WineryAfton Mountain WineryBlue Mountain Brewery We could tour the brewery, sample beers and have lunch. Cardinal Point WineryAlso, there is a celebration at Wintergreen Resort and an Artisan Craft Fair as well. I was thinking we could swing by and check that out too! You will need to call Kathy & Martin at (434) 361-9357 between 9 am and 9 pm to make your reservations. Tell them that you are one of Neal & Angela's MINI friends. Also please let me know that you plan on attending. Attendees:Neal, Angela & Andria Steve & Elaine Roy & Lelane Dale, Regina & Kristy

We're going to take off Friday morning and hit a winery other side of Richmond, in Gordonsville. It's called Horton Cellars Winery. Neal said their wine is awesome. Everyone is more than welcome to join us if your schedule permits. Or you can meet up with us Friday night at The Acorn. I forgot to put the website link again for The Acorn Inn....so here it is: The Acorn InnJust so everyone knows, the travel time is a little over 3 hours from Suffolk and about the same from Norfolk. So it is totally do-able on a Friday night. I'll post some links to the wineries we're planning on visiting. And feel free to post any that you'd like to visit too! |

This sounds like a blast. We did the same thing with another couple a few years ago. Virginia has some very good wineries.

Steph and I could do this in August. We can hit the Virginia Wine Trail. Be better to chip in for a party bus or limo. That way nobody has to drive. Steph and I do this when we visit her sister in California. This could be a good getaway and a lot of fun.

It could be that June is better because it is not as hot. July does not work for us. That is cooper vindyard and our vacation to California.

Don, as fun as it sounds to have a party bus and go winery jumping, I'd much rather just take it easy and sip a little here and a little there....run the roads and have a blast....then drink a bottle or so at The Inn later that night. We'd really like to make the trip about both driving fun roads and visiting nice wineries. |

Steve and I plan to go on the July trip if our dog sitter is available. We can leave on Friday the 3rd. I really hope that it works out with the sitter.  |
