Vineyards

We took a nice ride yesterday out to the vineyards, which are very, very dog-friendly.  Our first stop was Martha Clara Vineyard, in Riverhead, NY.


They are open year round and, they have dog walk programs once a month throughout the winter and then more frequently in the spring!  Yesterday, when we parked the car, we were greeted by these guys - 


Finn went over to investigate...



And then Finn went over and made friends with some of the goats.  We think she really wanted to get inside that pen to play.




Time to head inside for what we came for.  What'll it be, Finn?  White or red?


The staff was so friendly and really didn't mind having Finn in there.  Biscuits suddenly appeared from behind the bar and everyone was happy!



We sniffed around the gift shop too...


And then Finn found me in the tasting room enjoying my glass...



And helped me pick out a bottle to bring home.


You'd think one stop was enough, but no, no, Momma needed another glass.  So, off we went to Macari Vineyards in Mattituck, NY.


Taking a little stroll outside before we head into the tasting...


Can I try some Momma, can I?  Can I?  Can I?



No, no, it was enjoyed by just Momma.  The staff here was so friendly as well and they all came out from behind the bar to give Finn a nice hug or two.


A great outing indeed!  Everyone went home very happy!

  25. Sounds like the kind of outing I would like. Finn, I've got to tell you something....you have the cutest tongue. I love those pictures in which you stick your tongue out. Just so adorable. I really looks like you had a great day.

  26. Wow -- you are so lucky to go have a fun day like that! I think those goats wanted to play with you too. Mommy doesn't know much about wine. She knows one is served chilled and one is room temperature. She probably would have went with the one that is room temperature (is that the red one?), your dad person was all bundled up -- must have been cold outside.

  27. What great fun! And how cool that the staff loved Finn.....but then again, how can they not? :)

  31. Howdy Finn, what a great day and how good is it that they have a day when dogs can go walking there. Yay. We live near the Barossa Valley in South Australia, which is also renowned for its wines. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory

  36. Finn, that sounds like a wonderful adventure. We don't have many dog friendly places down here so Fenris doesn't get to go many places with the Mom.

  37. I have never been to vineyards. Is sounds like a nice place to visit, but it is unfair that you couldn't try any wine!
