Best Winery in Floyd, VA

About a year ago I moved to a small tourist town in Virginia named Floyd. I had no money and was looking for any freelance work I could get. I was having a really hard time making connections because I was living so far out in the country. Finally, one day, I saw a flyer on a church bulletin-board that Chateau Morrisette was looking for people to harvest grapes for them.

I called the number on the flyer and was able to talk directly to one of the owners. I was hired and a week later I made my first visit to Chateau Morrisette. It really took my breath away. The winery sits on top of a mountain, and has amazing scenery surrounding it. The architecture, however, is what truly impressed me. I felt as if I was visiting a grand palace! I had no idea that something this impressive and majestic was practically in my own back yard. Wow!

I met the owner face to face, and he was a really lovely man. He guided me to the rows of grapes and instructed me how to harvest. The smell of the grapes was intoxicating. Every day I could not wait to wake up and go to work. I loved being among the scent of the grapes, and to look out upon the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.

About a month ago my mother came to visit me in my new house for the first time. I KNEW where I had to take her! We drove up to the mountain to Chateau Morrisette for a wine tasting! The list of wines that they offered was extensive! They tasted just and lovely as the grapes I harvested smelled. My mother and I left with a wonderfully tasty bottle of wine to share!
