Gray Ghost Vineyards and Winery might possibly be the most recommended winery I've come to know. Because Gray Ghost is local to my area, I had waited to visit since I could do so without prearranged planning. Turns out that was like waiting to cash in a winning lottery ticket. Get comfy because I've got a lot to tell (and show) you! I'm celebrating a milestone of sorts: This is my 20th Virginia Winery Taste and Tour post! So I wanted it to be special. As you may remember from my ...

The Winery at Bull Run – Taste & Tour
Did you ever think that if Grant and Lee could have sat down and shared a nice bottle of Cabernet Franc by a roaring fire that the Civil War might have wrapped much sooner? Okay, maybe not. They would've enjoyed that wine, though. Yet it's a nice alternate reality to play out--especially if you use the Winery at Bull Run as the backdrop. One of the closest wineries to downtown Washington--only 28 miles from the White House!--you can experience a piece of history and cap it (or cork it) with a ...
Prince Michel Vineyard & Winery – Taste & Tour
One of Virginia's top five wine producers, Prince Michel offers standout wine tastings and a self-guided tour of their operation, giving you more than just a peek into how they make their magic. Couple that with gorgeous countryside, abundant indoor and outdoor spaces, a must-visit gift shop, and you've just found a great way to spend a day enjoying (and learning about) Virginia wine.

Barboursville Vineyards – Taste & Tour
One of Virginia's crown jewels of wine production, Barboursville Vineyards should not only be on your wine tour list, you should dedicate an entire day there. Famously known for its Octagon Bordeaux-style blend--served to Queen Elizabeth II upon her visit to the Commonwealth--there is greatness to be discovered. And tasted. Riding across the gentle hills of the Piedmont region, you'll be struck with not only vivid history, but an area that time has yet to disturb. And Barboursville ...
Pearmund Cellars – Taste & Tour
If you're becoming familiar with the Virginia wine scene, odds are you've heard of executive winemaker Chris Pearmund and Pearmund Cellars. And that, my friend, is a good thing. Not only are they one of the most award-winning wineries in Virginia, they grow grapes or produce wines for other established wineries, including Vint Hill Craft Winery and the Winery at Bull Run. And if you've tasted Pearmund's wines, it's likely you've added some of their bottles to your collection. The drive ...
Arterra Wines – Taste & Tour
Arterra Wines is indisputably one of Virginia's hidden treasures. And it is hidden. Arterra (and the associated Hawkmoth Art Gallery) are tucked off a pair of beaten paths in Delaplane, Virginia--beaten enough that you may want to take your SUV. But even if you need to hike, the journey will be worth the destination. With some of the finest crafted and true-to-terroir wines in Virginia, Arterra demands not merely to be sought after, but to be found. After twisting through lush forest and ...
![New recipe!! Bakery Style Scones wrap a buttery tasting delicate crumb inside with a golden brown exterior. Studded with chocolate chips, they will take your tea time to the next level! 💯☕

Anyone who knows me knows I love my scones!❤ I have developed many scone recipes over the years. From Mocha Pumpkin Scones to Golden Pomegranate Scones on Nutritionicity to Berry Burst Scones and Mocha Chocolate Chip Scones which found a home in my new cookbook Eat Well, Be Well-–there’s much to choose from. All of these round-style scones are super moist and packed with protein. These days though, I have been craving bakery style scones. You know–the ones that sit behind the glass case and tease you with their golden brown pie shaped promise.😍

I’d been hoping that one of the chain stores (I’m lookin’ at you Panera) would finally make a gluten-free option. Alas, even if they did their recipe probably wouldn’t be plant-based and refined sugar-free, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. What you see before you is the result! I hope you ❤ them as much as I do!😋💕
