Weekend Getaway with the Girls at Chateau Morrisette Winery

Pin It
This past weekend was so fun! 
I went on an overnight getaway with eight girlfriends to celebrate three birthdays.

We loaded up the car and headed to Chateau Morrisette Winery located just off the the beautiful
Blue Ridge Parkway in Floyd County, VA.


After an almost three hour drive of talking and laughing we arrived at our destination.
It was freezing that day!
Thank goodness we had the wine to keep us warm :)


We went on a tour of the winery. 
This is Bekka striking a pose in front of the wine barrels.
Saturday was her birthday.  Happy Birthday Bek!



We also did a tasting of several of the Chateau Morrisette wines.
Our Dog Blue and Blushing Dog are my favorites!


You can bring your own snacks if you like, so we spent hours there snacking,
 talking, laughing and enjoying some delicious wine. 
Girlfriends are the best!!


This was our tour guide and tasting host. 
She was so nice and fun too!






After all the fun at the winery we headed across the road to our cabin at


Our cabin was so cozy and adorable!!


We wanted to take this stove home with us! 


We spent the rest of the night playing games, making dinner, laughing our heads off
and just having a fantastic time!!
Oh, and we ate cupcakes.
(I'll post the recipe some time this week)

If you are looking for a Virginia Winery to tour, you should definitely make
Chateau Morrisette one of your destinations. 
We had a blast!

Weekending

School started here on Tuesday. 
Our one and only baby is a senior this year.
How did this happen so quickly??????????


Friday evening I hosted dinner for the cheerleaders and coaches at our house before the game.
I served Tomato and Mozzarella Pasta al Forno (I added pepperoni this time), salad, garlic bread and cupcakes.


Cupcake recipes coming soon.

After dinner it was time for some Friday night high school football.  Go Knights!
























I love zinnias.
I cut these from my parent's garden so my kitchen and deck would look pretty for the cheer dinner.
I spray painted mason jars with Rust-oleum Ultra Cover. 
Loving the aqua!



Hope you all had a great weekend too :)
