Blenheim Vineyards: Saturday, May 15, 2010

For my birthday, Terence brought me to Blenheim Vineyards, a vineyard owned by Dave Matthews in Charlottesville, Virginia.


We saw skydivers coming in for a landing on our drive down! One of the buildings had "SKYDIVE" painted on the roof to help those landing. 


There were dogs wandering around the building where the wine tasting was and the view was amazing. 


The cellar had a see through glass ceiling where people entering the building upstairs could be seen. 


Blenheim makes 5,000 barrels a year and they plan on keeping it that way. We were allowed to taste out of the barrels at different parts of the process which was really interesting.


The barrels were stained from the wine. 


Then  we went to downtown Charlottesville.
