Mother's Day found us looking for a place close to home so we headed up 64 to WindSong Winery in Columbia, VA. This is a small, friendly winery and our tasting, hosted by one of the owners, was quite enjoyable. The location was far back off the main road surrounded by woods. The quiet was lovely. There was a cute hound dog named Suzie roaming around the property. According to our host, Suzie was a hunting dog that came by and just stayed. We when mentioned we had hounds, beagles to be exact, he did not hesitate to invite us to bring the dogs and a picnic next time we came by. The Winery is located on Funny Tree Trail and I could not resist adding a picture of the funny tree. Go by and enjoy this friendly quiet winery.
While we were out that way, we stopped by Weston Farm Vineyard and Winery. We have visited here before, but last time the French Bull Dog proudly displayed on their wine labels were not there. Today, Suzie was there and what a sweet heart she was. After I attempted to snap a few pictures I found out that she does not care for cameras pointed at her. Sorry Suzie! I guess I just cannot resist these small, family run vineyards - I just think they are so special. These people have a vested interest in making sure you enjoy your time there and help you understand their wine and their point of view. I love it.
