Did I say free golf?

Now, for a limited time, our “sister community,” Viniterra in New Kent County, Virginia, is offering free golf on their brand new Rees Jones designed golf course. I recently toured the golf course and it is very inviting with beautiful Fall foliage, rolling fairways and cart paths meandering through portions of mature, deciduous forest.

According to Rees Jones’ website, ponds were created to provide both strategic and aesthetic value. Multiple tee angles, combined with the thoughtful and strategic location of a variety of grass, sand and water hazards, assure an enjoyable experience for all skill levels.

After your game, you must stop by the New Kent Winery and enjoy a tour and wine tasting. The building is unique and unlike any winery you will ever visit. The structure is built from various recycled materials ranging from pre-civil war bricks to cypress and heart-pine reclaimed from buildings well over a century old. All wine making, storing and bottling are done on site.

While the Winery is breathtaking, the wine tasting will delight your senses – the 2006 Chardonnay Reserve and the Meritage are popular sellers. There’s also a 2005 Merlot, 2008 Vidal Blanc, and a unique White Norton available for purchase.

Taste them all and let me know your favorite! And, when you visit, tell ‘em you heard about it on The Beach Road to Manteo!
