May Means Days of Wine & Roses at Burrell School

by Laura Ness - @hervineness on May 9, 2012

Wine and Roses at Burrell School

May brings much-anticipated blooms to Anne’s glorious heritage roses, and guests are invited to spend some quiet time in the gazebo garden all month long.  Stroll  amongst the roses, enjoy the flowers and foliage of the garden and watch the vines growing by leaps and bounds.  They’ll be blossoming this month starting with Pinot Noir and followed by Chardonnay.   Then it’s Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

Bring your Mom to the winery for Mother’s Day to enjoy the flowers and pick up some special wines – how about the newly released 2008 Viognier? And some special strawberry-marshmallow filled chocolates, made by local chocolatier, Chocolate Visions.
