Did you know that wine tasting & floral design go hand-in-hand?

I learned that this weekend as Pam Bell from Dragonfly Floral patiently coached a group of twenty visitors through the design of a Mother’s Day bouquet, while Pete from Notre Vue Estate refilled our wine glasses with exquisite tastings of Rosé, Sauvignon Blanc, and a white blend. 

Sitting on the tasting deck, overlooking the pond swimming with geese and goslings, we learned how to trim, set, and arrange our flowers.

What a night! We celebrated Valentine’s Day with a night of romantically inspired dishes paired with our Estate wines, prepared by renowned  Chef Austin Perkins.

Harvest is an exciting time for all of us in the winemaking biz.  Yes, it means long, tiring days (and nights) but it also means we’re about to start another vintage and that is a wonderful thing!

On Sunday, August 13, Notre Vue Estate Winery & Vineyard will open its gates for guests to hike and bike along private trails that wind through its vineyards and “Forever Wild” Open Space.
