Our Trip to Galena was good, lots of wine drinking....and I mean LOTS as well as a little bit of relaxing! It was beautiful, as always. The weather was normal for northern Illinois, hot and humid! We stayed in town the first two nights, it was really nice. Sat on the deck at night, under the stars drinking wine and eating our amazingly good apple and chocolates! Don't mind the paper "wine glasses" we forgot to buys some when we were downtown.
Downtown Galena is just beautiful! You have your old brick buildings, cobblestone roads, cute little boutique's, good restaurants, and winery's.
We were married at Galena Cellars Vineyard but who would have thought that we would ever become local celebrities!!! As we were walking through downtown, we stopped in to have some wine...Imagine that.... We discovered this booklet that showcased our beautiful wedding out at the vineyard, as well as cute brochures!
We finally made our way out to the vineyard to stay...It was worth the wait! Now it was time to just sit back, relax, and enjoy some EXTREMELY good Vino! The view from the vineyard suite was so pretty...I got up especially early to see the sunrise.
Once we were out in the middle of nowhere...We thought we would have some fun! Especially since no one was around for miles! It was just us and our wine...
Like I said....Just us and our wine!
The wine tour we went on was really interesting. We learned where most of the grapes come from, how they are crushed, fermented, put in holding tanks, and then bottled!
We had a lot of fun on our mini vacation...However we were ready to get home! 6 nights away from our bed and Mooser was just too long! Thank you Galena Cellars for being such gracious hosts to us! Can't wait to see where our next adventure takes us!
