Fruitful Vine

Tabor Hill...
Decisions, decisions

At Contessa...


Round Barn...




Saturday Brad took me on a tour of the local Michigan wineries, not too far from home! We stayed in New Buffalo, MI (same town we visited this summer for our beach trip and LOVED!) and took the Fruitful Vine winery bus tour to 4 local wineries around St. Joseph, MI. We had no idea that being along Lake Michigan makes for such ideal conditions in the grape-growing business! It was amazing how many wineries, vineyards, and fruit orchards we passed while were were out and about. The day was not rushed and there were tastings at each winery with lunch in between. It was a great way to celebrate my 30th birthday! Many thanks to Aunt Nicci and Uncle Andrew for manning the "funny farm" while we were gone! Alex and Abby had a blast with you both!
