On Saturday, after taking a drive down skyline drive, we finally went to visit the vineyard.

The Winery is located in this fascinating ”Stonecastle” building:

Gorgeous Huge Grape Vines!

Ryan and I had a great time visiting the Vineyard!

We tasted most of the Semi-Sweet, Sweet, Fruit and Desert Wines.

We liked them all!

We had previously only tasted 3 of the fruit wine flavors from Horton, and were pleased to find that the rest of the fruit flavors and all of the wines we tried were wonderful!

So we got one of each! And a couple of others that we really liked

Aren’t they beautiful?

Chateau Le Cabin Blackberry, Blueberry and Raspberry Wine

Chateau Le Cabin Cranberry, Strawberry and Plum Wine

Chateau Le Cabin Cherry, Pear and Peach Wine

Sweet Concord, Stonecastle Blush, and Eclipse Wine

When got home we opened finished a bottle of Cranberry:

We can’t wait to go back!

It was Horton Vineyards Cheateau Le Cabin Blackberry Wine.  It tastes just like blackerries!

We have since tried several of the other flavors. They are all delicious!

In fact, it was the blueberry wine that we were drinking while Ryan was fishing at the Boar’s Head Inn, we bought it earlier that day at the Michie’s Tavern General Store.

We went into the general store for a wine tasting, and tasted some terrible wine. . .  I take that back, it was terrible to us, but wine connoisseurs would probably feel the same way about the sweet fruit wine we enjoy.  We tasted some extremely dry red and an extremely dry white, and decided to see if we could find anything better.  This is what we found. . .

Sweet Blueberry Goodness!

Perhaps one day we will “acquire” the taste for something other than sweet fruit wines and Rosé.
