This weekend we ventured over to Knotts Island, NC for the annual Peach Festival and to sample the local wine at Martin Vineyards.
The festival was a typical country carnival style setting with craft vendors, fried food, tractor races and of course peaches, peach pie and peach ice cream!

The kids got a chance to play on the jungle gym and swings!
Allie liked all of the sights and sounds and found a new favorite toy!
After enough melting in the humid sun, we decided to grab some lunch then head over to Martin Vineyards to do a little wine tasting. (This was one of my favorite things to do when we lived in California)
Here we tried their "Five-times better than any wine" wines. I for one am a sweet wine fan, so I enjoyed their peach wine. Tasted like a peachy Riesling !
This wine also goes great with sharp cheddar or Gouda cheese.
My husband enjoyed the semi-sweet wine called Snowgoose White. Tasted like a mix of the peach wine and chardonnay.
There were also a few dry whites and dark sweet reds to try as well!
Now I don't know about you, but the best thing to after wine tasting is to buy a bottle and drink it outside with friends overlooking some awesome scenery. The breeze from the water was a nice plus too.
Weekends like this just can't get any better!
Till Next Time!

Stopping by from the blog hop! It looks like you all had so much fun. It is making me want to go to a festival. We recently moved to Hawaii and I didn't know about the festivals and so I missed both the pineapple festival AND the spam festival lol very sad.
ReplyDeleteOhh the pineapple festival would have been awesome! I love fresh pineapple, especially in Hawaii. :-)
