Valentine’s Day is Just Around the Corner
Do you realize that Valentine’s Day is on a weekend this year? Yes indeed, so it’s the perfect time to celebrate with the one you love and get away from your day to day activities for a mini vacation. Folks who live in Mooresville, Cornelius or Davidson have great proximity to the mountains for a wine tasting tour or something a bit more eclectic. We’ve got some recommendations too.
What’s that you say? You would love to, but what about the dogs, cats, birds and hamsters? Not to worry. Give us a call and we can set up a free consultation to meet you and your pets and get prepared to look after them while you’re gone. Now, what to do about the human kids…..sorry, we’ve got nothing for you!!
Great Wineries to Visit on Valentine’s Day Weekend
A few years ago Billy and I visited Shelton Vineyards and had a great time. We happened to go during the time of year that we could take a tour of the vineyards, but the best part was the wine tasting, so who cares if it’s too cold to tour the vineyards? They are offering a special Cupid’s Package for Valentine’s Day weekend that is sure to please. When we last attended a wine tasting at Shelton Vineyards, the hotel was under construction but it has been open for several years now. Located in Dobson, NC the trip from Mooresville is only 64 miles so you can easily get there in just a little over an hour.
If hotels are not your style there are bed and breakfast options available in the area. You better hurry though because those quaint lodgings are nearly all booked already.
Stony Knoll Vineyards offers a special Valentine’s Day wine tasting. They even have a sweet little cabin wine lodge.
Want Something a Little Different for Valentine’s Day Weekend?
Maybe you want a unique experience to celebrate Valentine’s Day weekend. Well, head on to Asheville and explore the not so common offerings. I lived there for many years and can assure you the variety of activities is mesmerizing. Pottery making with your love, a 5k, a different kind of city tour or a “trip to Argentina?”
Odyssey Center for Ceramic Arts offers an opportunity to get dirty.
LaZoom Tours offers a funny twist on city tours. The Let Your Love Roll Ride departs from the Asheville Brewing Company.
The Wedlock 5k run is a unique way to renew your commitment to each other and to running while also benefitting Helpmate, one of my favorite Asheville charities. Helpmate has been advocating, supporting and assisting victims of domestic violence for decades.
If romance is intriguing, how about a “trip to Argentina?” Lex 18 Supper Club is offering a 1920’s candlelit dinner, music and tango revue.
