I think vineyards are gorgeous ... usually rolling hills and the stone buildings must be a must for a winery ... old world look. Your images are lovely. I want to visit!Snaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16648866385164116020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-46696628240978638422014-10-05T22:00:05.740-04:002014-10-05T22:00:05.740-04:00The stone building (and walkways) are nice and gra...The stone building (and walkways) are nice and grapes hanging like that just make you want to pluck one to try.<br />Our big grape growing region is Niagara, Ontario and I've toured and tasted some wines which are very generous glasses when poured.

My goodness...just breathtakingly gorgeous!<br /><br />You have the iron will of a Buckingham Palace guard to have not actually tasted any wine while you were there!!! I understand that the ground are beautiful, but geez.....I don't think I could have resisted!<br /><br />We have many Missouri wineries that produce some pretty good wines. There are a couple of them within a 20-minute drive. I love going out there and, like you, just strolling the grounds or sitting to watch the sunset. So pretty!<br /><br />I hope you're having a good weekend. Enjoy and take care!Alycia Nicholshttp://tabletwentyone.wordpress.com/2014/10/02/breast-cancer-awareness-month-pretty-in-pink-wicked-in-spurs/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-51223016832710276062014-10-02T08:11:51.058-04:002014-10-02T08:11:51.058-04:00What a beautiful vineyard to visit, Denise.

I loved seeing the gorgeous grounds and I especially liked the statue of the woman holding the grapes. <br />Rich and I visited Sonoma several years ago and had a wonderful time there going to wineries. We stayed in a garage that had been transformed into a small house that was on the owner's property. They actually had a small vineyard and bottled their own wine. What lovely memories you've just stirred up in me. Hugs and blessings sent to you. kitty@ Kitty's Kozy Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803962513834013589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-35467400771478375472014-10-01T12:47:41.169-04:002014-10-01T12:47:41.169-04:00Such a pretty vineyard.

We do have vineyards in our area but we've never visited even one of them. We went on a 4 hour wine tour in Provence that was very informative and I'd like to do something like that again.

Here in Colorado, vinyards are replacing the fruit orchards on the western slope--the other side of the Rocky Mountians in the Grand Junction area. So often the peach crop gets and early freeze that destroys the fruit, so vinyards seem to hace been a good replacement. Duncan must have enjoyed his walk. I dare not walk Boone. He'd pull my arm off. Wonderful photos today. Love the statue of the little girl.

It just just stunning all the way around, and we had a wonderful lunch there, too. We are just getting vineyards in north Georgia, too. On the tour, they mentioned the popularity of the NC ones. They said that years of tobacco growing had given the soil there its own unique blend, and the wines were reflective of that.

The views are wonderful and i bet when the fall foliage is in full swing it is stunning.<br />My brother-in-law married a Gemelo who has a winery in Northern CA. Mr Gemelo sold it and I don't know what name it goes under now. I have been down to Visa, CA to the Calaway Winery and hit most of the ones in Napa. My son loves wine and is always trying new ones. Will have to check into the NC wines.<br />Thanks for sharing. Bet Mr. Duncan is growing up fast.<br />MaryMary@mydogsmygardenandmaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03265174897498950754noreply@blogger.com
