https://www.tomolpack.com/2025/03/11/ufjb6x529m0 We continued to celebrate reunions and meetings with friends and family throughout the summer of 2021. As we look forward to the golden leaves of autumn, I thought it would be appropriate to recall our fun times with family and friends during this past summer. Of course, Virginia wineries were our gathering places!
Paul and I were excited to catch up with our friend Bob who lives on the Northern Neck of Virginia. Bob introduced us to two new wineries in that area, and we were able to add two new wineries to our growing list of wineries that we visited. These included Monroe Bay Winery and Backporch Vineyard. In addition to tastings at those wineries, Paul and I were also able to sneak in a tasting at Ingleside Vineyards and The Hague Winery.

https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/ngp4fu9o7b Williams Gap Vineyard has quickly become a favorite winery of ours, and we scheduled a tasting that introduced our friends Steve and Joe to their well crafted wines. Bridgette Smith skillfully guided us through our tasting as we nibbled on charcuterie and cheeses. In turn, Steve and Joe invited us to join them at a tasting of one of their recent favorite wineries, Forever Farm and Vineyard. This was also a new winery visit for us, and we enjoyed our tasting with live music!

My parents were able to escape the chaos of Hurricane Ida after she blew through New Orleans, and a trip to Delaplane Cellars offered the perfect opportunity to view lovely mountain scenery as we tasted some excellent wines. We also used the occasion to toast their 61st wedding anniversary! We finished our afternoon of wine tasting with a visit to Barrel Oak where we were treated to a sample of their current lineup of wines and their excellent dessert wine.
