Reviewing my new Fairfax and Favor Mini Windsor Handbag
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.
Visiting Hunter’s Head Tavern in Upperville
Just down the road from the beautiful town of Middleburg is Upperville, a small town in Fauquier County notable for its horse farms and beautiful country estates. Nestled in the town is Hunter’s Head Tavern, a lovely historic tavern serving some of the best organic and locally-sourced meals in the area. Everything from the lovely cork menus to the hunt country-inspired foliage is carefully considered, thus creating an inviting, cozy and elegant English country-style ambience.

Sunday at Salamander Resort and Spa
One of my favorite things about Virginia’s hunt country is the combination of equestrian-inspired decor, rolling hills and pastures filled with horses and cattle, old-world cobbled streets and lovely brick homes, and history-filled small towns. It’s probably no surprise at this point, but one of my favorite towns in hunt country is Middleburg. This past weekend, we popped over to Salamander Resort and Spa for a cocktail and walk around their lovely equestrian center and gardens.
