Recently in Hunt Country

Hello, everyone! Apologies for the silence on this blog over this past week… it was my husband’s birthday, and we spent several days exploring and celebrating across the beautiful countryside of Virginia. Over the past week, we explored Charlottesville and much of Virginia’s beautiful wine and hunt country where we got to soak in the beautiful views, enjoy the early signs of spring, and sip on the delicious wines in the region.

Our trip started with a visit to Glass House Winery in Free Union, Virginia, which may be one of the most unique wineries we’ve come across. Despite the rainy weather, we enjoyed wine flights paired with delightful handcrafted chocolates. The winery also boasted a tropical flair, and we had the awesome opportunity of enjoying our bites and sips in beautiful tropical conservatory. Next on our stop was Downtown Charlottesville, where we explored both downtown and the surrounding countryside. We enjoyed drinks (beer for him, wine [duh!] for me) at Kardinal Hall, another very dog friendly spot in town with a German bierhall feel. The service was fantastic and the entire staff were so friendly!

Charlottesville is home to so many fun shops, restaurants, and bars, and we found to it be a very dog-friendly place. Whether you’re looking for a fun staycation in the city, or a peaceful retreat in the countryside, you’ll find it in Charlottesville!
