weekend get-away
went to visit delaine this weekend at her adorable cottage in covesville. she has an amazing view of the mountains and has the place set up like a quaint little b&b. very relaxing!
we toured downtown charlottesville and had a picnic on the lawn at uva. the weather was amazing. hard to believe it was a summer day in the middle of july!
we had dinner at a tapas restaurant called “mas” in downtown charlottesville. everything was delicious, but we fell in love with “queso con miel de castana” – an oven roasted toast topped with austrian wild chestnut honey and bica cheese – to die for! after dinner we went to “the creperie” and had a strawberry and chocolate crepe. however, a few too many sangrias at mas sent us straight back to covesville!
delaine works up at wintergreen. we headed up the mountain and stopped at wintergreen winery. we sampled quite a few wines and selected our favorites. on our way to the resort we stopped at a quaint little store and found some artisinal honey – hoping to make a replication of the tapas the night before!
after lunch at the wintergreen resort we headed to “king family vineyards” to watch a polo match. again, the weather was amazing! we pulled up for a little tail gating and enjoyed the game as well as the scenery.
(had to document this truck that was pushing me down the road. yes, he is passing me and i am going 85mph.)
