We decided for Christmas this year we would give each other a vacation. We left Monday morning for Charlottesville and stopped at a couple wineries on our way. After arriving at the hotel, we headed out to find dinner. We decided on Ariana Grill Kabob House it turned out to be a great idea!
Today we had a lazy morning before heading out to taste some wine. We went by Castle Hill Cidery but they weren’t open, so we went on to Horton winery. After buying some wine we stopped for lunch at Barbecue Exchange on a friends suggestion and it was great! The pork was tender and the sauces are delicious. After lunch we realized many of the wineries we planned on stopping at weren’t open we continued on to Veritas, a beautiful winery but we didn’t find the wine appealing. Our next stop was at Blue Mountain Brewery for a sampling of their beer. They produce a good variety of beer and we picked up a six-pack of their Classic Lager. Our last winery of the day was Cardinal Point.
On the road we spotted Jessica Ln and stopped for a picture.
We met a friend of Jessica’s for dinner at Horse and Hound Gastropub. The burgers were great, and they have some good beer on tap. After dinner we went to Wild Wing Cafe for a few more drinks and good conversation. Now we are back at the hotel to get some rest before tomorrow.
