I really love to relax with a glass of wine and it’s so fun to go to wineries and do tastings and bring home a few bottles (OK cases) of wine.\u00a0 For the past couple of years we have been going to different wine regions around the northeast with my sister and her boyfriend.\u00a0 Each fall we make a weekend of it and drive around to different wineries, picnic if it’s nice out and just enjoy the fall foliage and getting out of the city.\u00a0 This year we went to the Hudson Valley wine region<\/a>.\u00a0 If you haven’t been I recommend giving it a try.\u00a0 It’s not as expensive as Long Island(which we did last year and had a blast) and it’s about an hour from the city.\u00a0 You could even go just for the day.\u00a0 There are about 10 wineries and it’s the perfect amount for a weekend trip.<\/p>\n

Chris and I on day 1- this was taken on the top of a hill overlooking the valley below.\u00a0 It kind of looks like a fake background in the photo but the trees were so beautiful even though it rained on and off.<\/p>\n

I really loved this!\u00a0 The bottles are empty and on this wooden tree form with Christmas lights woven in between- great idea!<\/p>\n

Yes we also got a pumpkin that got strapped onto the roof of the mini cooper.\u00a0 This place also had the BEST cider donuts I have ever had- yum.<\/p>\n
