We also have what they call a urban winery in downtown, Southern Charm Winery. <br />I love the looks of the Chateau Morrisette. It reminds me a bit of the Biltmore Winery, which I love.<br />The BRP is not closed. The National Park areas on the parkway are, but the road itself is open. I hope to get up there sometime this week, maybe tomorrow.Mandi @ Southern Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425705398173661625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-60509344348518150302013-10-14T08:54:17.100-04:002013-10-14T08:54:17.100-04:00PS The Blue Ridge parkway is probably open but the...PS The Blue Ridge parkway is probably open but the visitors centers may be closed. Sometimes the parkway closes for repairs so I guess it would be good to check before planning a trip.

I have taken a tour of a couple of wineries in the Niagara region of Ontario. The portions of wine we were given to sample were quite substantial, but that encourages sales.Judith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-75355834510391017992013-10-13T15:56:33.313-04:002013-10-13T15:56:33.313-04:00I love going on day adventures.

The whole place is lovely, it reminds me of the "village" they built at Biltmore Estate, have you been there? It looks a lot like this place. FYI, I did hear that the overlooks at National Parks are closed off during the gov't shutdown, even though they are unmanned, something about liability...don't know if that's true, you might want to Google it before you drive up there. The parkway is just gorgeous this time of year, I hope they aren't denying people from seeing it just because of all the shutdown mess!

Last fall we drove to Virginia and stopped at several wineries. It was enjoyable.<br /><br />Your photos are quite nice. You did a great job.

No. We do not have wineries here this side of the Rocky Mountains, but on the western slope where they used to grow peaches and other fruit, many of the orchards have given way to wineries. Here in Northern Colorado it is too dry and hot. Your country side really knows how to present fall. Gorgeous color. annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-9225025554013552832013-10-10T13:18:05.957-04:002013-10-10T13:18:05.957-04:00I definitely want to go there!

I am from Virginia not far from the Blue Ridge Parkway, close to Roanoke. Now I live in So CA, but miss Virginia very much.<br />I've been to most of the wineries in Napa, and So CA.
