Ste. Chapelle Winery

[QuietOne]

It's only a few miles from the house. We figured it was about time we visited. This looks like it's mostly the tasting room and gift shop - most of what's around it is actually orchards.

Upstairs in the tasting room/gift shop. Selecting all the fiddly little stuff so I could adjust only parts was a pain, but I thought it looked cool.

The deck just outside the tasting room. It has quite a view.

A park area just down the slope. They hold summer concert series here. A different caterer each event, and their wine is, of course, available for purchase, by the glass or the bottle.

Some lovely scenes in harsh light - well done.

Thank you. The temperature was comfortably warm. Much nicer than the light. We went for lunch at a roadside restaurant afterwards, at the reccommendation of one of the tasting room's staff. I'll have to go back at some point - it looks like it was originally an old packing shed for the orchards. There's a patio area and small garden, as well, both quite nice.

Very nicely done on all of them QO. Lovely compositions, and the lighting is spot on.

Very nice Q1. Thanks for sharing these shots. -- pity you cant share the wine :sad:

[QuietOne]

Thanks, HBG and Runmonty. I'm pretty certain they're willing to ship the wine to you. We got a bottle (I'd have to think about which varietal, at this point), and it was good.
