Sharp Rock Vines

Looking at this photo reminds me of why I love the wine country of Virginia, the rolling hills and the endless rows of vines, growing the sweet delicious nectar we love.
On a long spring weekend not too long ago, we took the jeep on a road trip west on 66. Along the way we toured three local wineries (only an hour or so outside of DC) - Unicorn, Grey Ghost and Sharp Rock. We met beautiful people and tasted some wonderful wines!
Not only were the wineries wonderful, but the B&B we stayed at in Sperryville was absolutely charming and lovely. The Hopkins Ordinary run by innkeepers, Sherri & Kevin, was such a treat! From the rooms named after herbs to the delicate porcelain key fobs that matched the signs on each room door, everything was just right. They made dinner recommendations (and reservations) to the most amazing restaurant just across the street at the Thorton River Grille. One of my favorite treats of the evening was the home made chocolate chip cookies and wine waiting when we returned from dinner.
A short drive down the road was White Oak Canyon, a national park with multiple trails, some of which include waterfalls! A beautiful picturesque place recommended by a new friend and local author, whom we met at one of the wineries that weekend…photos can be found by clicking the photo above. Sláinte :-)
