It's Valentine's Day and you don't know what you can
do that will really intrigue your sweetie. You want to do something really
special and memorable. How about a visit to Chateau Morrisette? With tours,
wine tastings, and an excellent four-star resturaunt on site, it is a trip you
and your sweetie are sure to remember.
Resting high atop a mountain in Floyd county, Chateau Morrisette is
approximately an hour from Radford. It blends the rustic charm of the Blue
Ridge Mountains with the quiet sophistication of your typical winery. The
chateau itself is a massive building that is home to the winery's production,
temporary storage, and retail facility.
While taking a tour you realize the marriage of old and new methods when you
see oak barrels resting on racks next to giant stainless steel vats. Both are
used in production creating their excellent wines. After the tour, those of
drinking age can partake in a wine tasting. You get the privilage of tasting
their twelve varieties of wines. Ranging from the very dry to sweet dessert
wines, there is something for every taste.
If you should get the chance, go to the resturaunt on the grounds. The food is
not only wonderful in taste but visually appealling as well.
Don't have the chance to go this weekend? Why not make a weekend of it next
weekend? They have a special Winter Wine Getaway package designed for couples.
