Hey Family!! October 2nd , we started Virginia wine month with a bang!! I took a group of 14 ladies to shenandoah for a relaxing day of wines and grapes stomping. We ended up at Cave ridge Vineyards, besides the weather being gloomy and raining on and off it didn't stop us from having a fabulous day. We were welcome by Luna and Graig with glasses đĽ of Rosè (isn't this a vip treatment?)
We were taken to our tables that beautiful set up to our surprise with charcuterie board (beautiful made by the way by Megan Phillips ) . We went through a guided tasting of over 10 wines. The ladies learned so much about the grapes, the story behind cave ridge, process of aging and with the food pairing. We ended with a port style that was paired with a dark chocolate and that was definitely everyone's favorite đ, who doesn't like chocolate and wine? Me, đ 𤣠....
Megan and the crew were fabulous as always and went beyond custom service to make everyone feel comfortable. The cherry on top we had our own stomping on grapes experience even though it was cold and rainy âď¸.
It was a first time for a few ladies for grapes stomping and first winery in VIRGINIA and Cave ridge Vineyards has set up the expectations pretty high .
Big thanks đ to Megan, Luna and the wonderful, friendly and welcoming family there we made â¤ď¸. Till next time

   Read moreAwesome Vineyard, Excellent COVID Protocols
We visited this vineyard the week between Christmas and New Year's. The wine was quite good and offered a lot of different options for a lot of different tastes. We did the white wine, sweet wine, and sparkling wine flights and ended up buying 3 different bottles, in addition to having a few glasses of mulled wine while we were there. The woman working was friendly and incredibly helpful (sorry, didn't catch her name, though I think she had an Aussie accent) and we found the vineyard to be a beautiful place to spend time. My husband and I sat and talked while my daughter walked all over taking photographs of the area.
I also want to mention that this is the only vineyard that we've felt comfortable visiting during the COVID-19 pandemic. The protocols were spelled out on their website and were followed to the letter while we were there. All tables were wiped between each set of customers, they had ample outdoor seating, fire pits, heat lamps, etc. I really felt like they cared about their customers and keeping us all safe and healthy, while still allowing us to enjoy one of our favorite things: going to vineyards and enjoying wine!
Kudos to the owners and staff for a wonderful job, both in winemaking and in general. We will...
   Read moreLast night, my husband surprised me and took me to this wonderful vineyard for my birthday. What a wonderful time we had. They were having wild game dinner and wine pairing. We were greeted by the owner, who is amazing. Poured the first of wines, a sparkling RosÊ with hors d'oeuvres. That set the tone for the night. I can't put into words how wonderful the wines were and the meal served with. If you have never been, I encourage you to visit, You will not be disappointed in any wine you choose. The notes, the flavor, are spot on. I would like to take this moment to thank the owner, his family, and staff for making this one of the most memorable enjoyable Birthday's I ever had. The family style dining made the moment even more special. My husband and I met new friends and shared a moment in time. To Michelle, Bonnie, Chip, my husband and I appreciated your dining companionship. Thank you, Cave Ridge Vineyard. We...
