Apple Picking + Wine Tasting = Perfect Fall Weekend in Virginia

The temperature has dropped in the DMV, but last weekend I did something for the very first time.  I went apple picking.  Yes, you read that correctly.  My friend Olga of the fabulous food blog Mango & Tomato wanted to go and I told her "I'll drive."  This is why I love a food partner in crime. 

So, we headed to Stribling Orchard lauging and talking all the way.  After a simple lunch of hot dogs, chips, and enjoying the weather we decided to go in search of a vineyard for wine tasting.  We settled on Philip Carter Vineyards and it's lovely grounds to sip, swirl, taste, and finish a perfect foodie weekend.  I found a new favorite Chardonnay in the process.  Have a great weekend!
