Two wineries of the many we have visited are celebrating their anniversaries this weekend. Pearmund Cellars in Broad Run, Virginia is celebrating its 8th Anniversary. In Geneva, Ohio Laurello Vineyards is celebrating its 9th Anniversary. Congratulations to both wineries!

Pearmund Cellars is celebrating their anniversary over the long weekend. Visitors are invited to bring their own grill with a reminder to observe grilling etiquette. In addition the winery is offering visitors a challenge. “Here’s a challenge…come dressed as your favorite Revolutionary War personality (we’ll accept either side of the conflict) and receive $17.76 off a bottle of wine.” No stilts please!

On Saturday Bad to the Bone Smokehouse will be at the winery. Smoked chicken, pulled pork, and chicken wings plus more will be available for purchase. For more information check out the Pearmund Cellars’ website.

In Ohio, Laurello Vineyards is celebrating their 9th Anniversary with the purchase of your first in-house bottle of wine, you will receive a free small cheese tray and crackers. This offer is good on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Laurello is also offering specials on their Pinot Noir, Muscat Blanc and Gewürztraminer for a limited time. Music this weekend will include Uncharted Course and 4 Kings and a Queen. For times and more information visit Laurello Vineyards’ website.

The menu for this weekend includes grilled burgers, grilled chicken caprese sandwiches and the Laurello Vineyards special pizzas that include bacon, artichoke hearts and sun dried tomatoes.
