Saturday morning started with breakfast at The Crepe Factory. So very tasty! We then headed toward the Charlotte area. Took a short detour to the antique store in Grover. Found some very nice wine glasses, a neat ice bucket and a lovely antique ring for me.
From there we headed to Newton, NC to meet our friends Will & Pam at Catawba Farms Winery.
The tasting room has not been open very long, only since August, but man do they have several lovely wines, the 4 of us shared a bottle of the Peach for the Stars and the Puh-leezeling - both of which came home with us! We also shared a cheese plate that consisted of pita bread, pimento cheese, a beer cheese, and hummus that was so very good!. We WILL be going back!
On the property there is a lovely bed & breakfast called the Peacock Inn at Catawba Farms. We hope to get to stay there sometime. Room rates are very reasonable.
On the 34 acres of the Farms, there are peacocks, this is Henry
bunnies,
pigs,
chickens,
one rooster,
2 cats - Sister Kitty & Lily Mouse
and one horse whose name is Major Tom
Michael (pictured with the rooster), one of the partners, was kind enough to let us meet all the animals on the property & tell us some of the history of the property and the winery.
We spent quite a while here, looking at animals and enjoying time and wine with our friends. I strongly recommend this winery to anyone who loves good wine, fun with friends and animals.
Once again we had such a fun weekend. Jenni didn’t mention but we stopped by Baker Buffalo Creek Vineyards on Saturday before continuing to Catawba Farms. We picked up a bottle of the just bottled Marry Berry. Good thing too, Apaarently Charles and Ann sold out of it at the Charlotte Christmas show. The Winery at Catawba Farms was so much fun. It was great to see our friends Will and Pam and the entire experience was memorable. Sunday we met some old friends in Asheville at Sierra Nevada and did the guided tour. So much fun, I mean what guy doesn’t enjoy free beer? We enjoyed dinner in the onsite restaurant. The pimento beer cheese and pretzels are amazing. Brought home a six pack of the kellerweis, a wheat beer.
