Are You Ready For a Little Relaxation?

August 6th, 2008

Every weekend at Elk Creek Vineyards there’s something going on, whether it’s a music festival at the outdoor amphitheater, a gallery art showing, cooking classes and wine tasting just to name a few.  There is definitely something for everyone.  However, if you’re looking to just relax and do nothing, you couldn’t ask for a better place to do it.  

Last weekend my husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary.  We didn’t want a big celebration, just to spend a quiet weekend together relaxing and enjoying each others company.  Elk Creek Vineyards gave us the perfect opportunity to do just that.  Knowing that’s what we had in mind my husband had previously reserved a room at the Lodge for the weekend.  To say it was absolutely beautiful is an understatement!  The Lodge was charming and warm and just walking through the door I could feel my stress level drop.  After checking in we spent the day Friday at The Hunt Club shooting sporting clays on the woods course.  If you’ve never shot sporting clays you have to give it a try.  We love it and go every chance we get!  Anyway back to the weekend…  

Friday night was a romantic evening on the deck of the winery while listening to some amazing local musicians play.  Saturday we had a “couples massage” that was beyond relaxing then had a wonderful lunch at the cafe.  The rest of the day was filled with whatever we wanted to do at our own leisure – a tour of the winery, browsing through the art gallery, wine tasting and a perfect ending to a perfect day - sitting on the deck watching the sun go down with a great bottle of wine.  What more could you ask for?!

Next time you’re planning a weekend getaway with your significant other or even family and friends be sure to check out everything Elk Creek Winery has to offer.  Whether it’s a weekend to party or a weekend to relax, you’ll find it here at Elk Creek!              

If Mama’s Not Happy, Nobody’s Happy!

April 28th, 2008

Mother’s Day is right around the corner and if you believe in the title of this blog, “If Mama’s Not Happy, Nobody’s Happy”, then you better start thinking about what you’re going to do for your mom on May 11th.  It’s one day a year that we really honor and celebrate motherhood and in my humble opinion (being a mom myself), it’s not enough!  However, besides the fact that you should be nice to your mother everyday, we’ll happily accept the one day a year where we get the national recognition that we so deserve.

For Mother’s Day, most mother’s just want a day off - from cleaning, cooking, working, being a chauffeur and referee and the dozens of other things moms do.  A day of pampering is the perfect “thank you” to any mom and Elk Creek Vineyards is just the spot!  We have the perfect way to give your mom the recognition she deserves.  This year show her how much she means to you by giving her a week-end of pampering.  Quiet dinners, soothing massage and wonderful wine in a down home southern atmosphere - what more could a mother ask for?  It’s the perfect Mother’s Day gift!

If a weekend trip isn’t in your schedule then don’t worry, Elk Creek Vineyard’s Mother’s Day Dinner on Sunday May 11th at 6:30pm is just for you.   Chef Matt Falcone of Bayou Bluegrass Catering will be offering an amazing four course dinner with a different wine served with each course.  Now what mother wouldn’t love that?

This Mother’s Day make Mama happy by taking her to Elk Creek Vineyards - remember, “If Mama’s Happy, Everybody’s Happy” – and believe me, she’ll be happy!
