Discover the Spirit of Virginia Wine Country

Winey and Cheesey — Wed, 25 May 2011 18:40:50 +0000

L’Auberge Provencale was thrilled to team up with Linden Vineyards last year on June 23^rd, 24^th & 30^th for Linden’s Annual Barrel Tasting. The talented culinary team at L’Auberge Provencale paired the cuisine to complement the latest wines available from Linden. The Kingfish stole the show and went outrageously well with Linden’s Sauvignon Blanc. No one could resist the Lamb chops as they sipped on the 2008 Hardscrabble Chardonnay. This amazing event drew in over 750 wine enthusiasts from the area who visited the winery over a three-day spree. Mother Nature was on our side and the weather was as good as it gets in the Shenandoah Valley. The food and wine was flowing as spirits ran high, and we were delighted to be able to take part in such an event.

If you missed the Barrel Tasting, but love Virginia wines, we invite you to visit our Virginia Inn and Restaurant and partake in one of our self guided or chauffeured wine tours. Our Virginia Wine Country Tours include other local vineyards and wineries including Delaplane, Three Fox, Veramar, Barrel Oak, Pearmund Cellars (who won the Governor’s Cup this year), Philip Carter, La Grange, Naked Mountain and so many more. All of these fantastic Virginia Wineries are just a quick ride from the inn. After your complimentary tasting certificates are used, head back to L’Auberge for our Prix Fixe 5 Course Menu or 6 Course Tasting Menu with our exceptionally selected wine pairings. Our wine pairings feature wines from not only the vines in the Shenandoah Valley and all around the world, but of course we pair the Kingfish with Linden’s Avenius Sauvignon Blanc. It’s that good!

If the barrel tasting sounded like your kind of event and you’re sorry you missed it, mark your calendar for a Special Wine Dinner at L’Auberge Provencale on June 26^th, hosted by Jason Bise from The Country Vintner. Call us for details!

Point to Point Race and Virginia Wine Month

Winey and Cheesey — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 20:32:21 +0000

You know that spring is almost here in the Shenandoah Valley when the Blue Ridge Point to Point race is just around the corner. No pun intended says Winey! This is a great race that will be held at Woodley Farm, in the beautiful Virginia countryside, just a few miles up the road from L’Auberge Provencale, bed and breakfast. Winey and Cheesey will be there with a tail gate picnic to watch the beautiful horses and the beautiful people here in Clarke County, Va. If you want to attend the race we still have a few rooms available and we will throw in the picnic for two! The races are on March 12, 2011, so bring some cash for the side bet (only kidding!) Winey and Cheesey think our bed and breakfast is the perfect place to unwind after the races. Enjoy a sumptuous meal in our romantic dining room and a fine bottle of wine to mellow out even the most active DC foodies after all that fresh country air!

We will also be celebrating Virginia Wine Week and are offering “Love by the Glass”, for all those wine lover’s out there. L’Auberge Provencale’s romantic restaurant will be featuring our long time favorite Virginia vineyards and some new ones we discovered at the Governor’s Wine Awards last evening for the week of March 18-27th! Wine lovers now have another good reason to come out and enjoy L’Auberge Provencale. The Shenandoah Valley and other areas of Virginia are producing some really good wines these days. Your going to love them! Winey and Cheesey are loving them and you will too. While you are visiting you can enjoy the culture, local history and of course, local food and local wine.

Spring also has us looking at all those goodies to come out of the garden and forests of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Fresh fiddleheads, morels, French breakfast radishes, mache…yumm, yumm. You don’t want to miss this, so we hope to see you soon at the L’Auberge Provencale, country inn and restaurant. Don’t forget we are only just a short drive from Washington, D.C. And we know you are ready after this winter to get out of the city and enjoy country comfort!
