Sunday Snapshot - Summer at the Winery

We had a beautiful afternoon today.  The weather is finally summer (hot!) and wonderfully sunny.

The Mr and I headed up to Orfila Winery, where we are wine club members.  Our wine shipment was ready for us!

I love these afternoons.  We did a bit of wine tasting (their new sparkling wine was finally available and we tried some - delicious!) and then walked around the grounds for a while.




Peaceful here.




Looks like the grapes are ready to be picked!




The Mr enjoying the day...




Walking in the vineyard.



And this is a pic of The Mr taking a pic. Circular photography. ;-)


We had a great afternoon.  I look forward to going back again in the fall!

    Such beautiful pictures, I'm sure you enjoyed your day and the wine of course! My grandfather had a vineyard in Greece and I remember him making homemade wine, he would put rubber boots on the grandkids and let us step on the grapes, it was the best time!~

    Looks like a beautiful afternoon!! Hubby and I biked (much to his dismay) the vineyards one time on a pre-kid trip! It was wonderful:) Loved your pics!

    I love visiting and touring wineries. They are always so interesting and I love learning more about the grapes and fermentation. Looks like a great way to spend a summer day. Cheers!!!!

    Beautiful! One of my favorite trips sans kiddos was to San Francisco...oh the valley was so breathtaking. The air so clear and crisp--low humidity....LOVE IT!
    Thanks for bringing back some great memories!

    Sounds like a fun day sampling the wines. Especially from the winery grounds.
