Wine & Music Weekend

Sophie's new music teacher plays guitar in a band!  We decided to go check out The Willys at Reid's Orchard Winery on Saturday night.
~*~
After sampling several wines in the tasting room, we bought some wine and a cheese platter and headed out to the seating area.  Sophie got a free cherry slushie.  And later went back for a blue raspberry one, too.

What a beautiful view!

~*~
The concord grapes looked so luscious on this vine.

~*~
Got one with the "come on and take it already" face, and one with the "super cheesy pose smile" face.  I love this girl!

~*~
It was all I could do to stop myself from plucking these off and eating them.

The set up

Sophie enjoyed picking weeds and wildflowers in the orchard while waiting for the band to start playing.

~*~
Running through the orchard is a good way to burn off pent up energy!

~*~
Bailey the orchard dog was a hit.  This was a free, pup-friendly event.

~*~
Yummy!!

~*~
After a few songs, the kids who were there with their parents started playing football behind the grape vines.  Sophie joined right in and had a blast!


~*~
After football came soccer.
~*~
And after soccer came tree climbing!  As it grew dark, the crowd really got into the swing of things.  The music was awesome, the lights on the tables and in the trees were festive, and a great time was had by all!!

Lucky us, there are at least 3 wineries within 15 miles.  They all host free concerts and family friendly events.  Loving our new location and memories made with mom and dad :)

Great post! You captured the event perfectly....and kindly left out a line about your cranky mother....she was pretty sour at first....then, thankfully, she calmed down...cheese, crackers, wine, and great music will do it every time....and a wonderful time was had by all!! :)
