![Did you know it's October? And did you know that October is Virginia Wine Month?! 🤷♀️ I've been a little *ahem* preoccupied, but before it totally passes us by, I wanted to draw your attention to it. []
I regret that it's been awhile since I've had the opportunity to visit one of the many fabulous wineries surrounding me--I missed crush season!😥 Did you know that Virginia has over 300 wineries?! And as the awards keep flowing in, the winemakers keep producing remarkable wine. Next time you find yourself traveling this way, do yourself a favor and schedule a visit. No matter what your definition of a relaxing environment, there's a winery in Virginia to meet your need. Everything from a grand chateau situated on top of rolling hills to a southern manor with a front porch view to a farm with a downhome feel. And if you want even more insight from someone who has visited these vistas more recently than I have, check out Sarah's page @grapepairings! In addition to informative wine highlights, she shares a host of creative wine and food pairings! 🥂🍷🍽💯
