Can you imagine yourself sitting outside enjoying a relaxing evening dinner,overlooking rolling hills covered with grape vines and still be within a 30 minute drive of Cincinnati?

Well thanks to the rolling landscape, soil and weather in the Cincinnati area -we have quite a few “home grown” vineyards surrounding us. The a other night our office had an outing at nearby Vinokolet Winery  and, to put it politely, we had a wonder evening with perfect sunny cool weather, a fun buffet dinner, tasty wine and entertainment.  Vinokolet is just of of many vineyard/winery businesses accessible to area residents.  Others include:

• Harmony Hills Vineyard
• Valley Vineyards
• Chateau Pomije Winery
• Meranda-Nixon Winery

For true wine enthusiasts there are plenty of specialty stores that offer tastings and educational sessions but this time of year you don’t turn down the chance to sit outside enjoying the views, great weather and being in the company of friends.
