D O :: Pumpkin Patch and Barrel Oak Winery

Happy Halloween!  Hope you were able to get out this month and enjoy the beautiful weather and leaves (before they all blew away in the storm!)  Last weekend, Rob and I took a little day trip to Delaplane, VA to get in all of our fall activities.  We had the absolutely perfect weather.  Taking the advice Amanda from Marshalls Abroad we went to Hollin Farm and picked pumpkins and drank delicious apple cider.  From there we headed to three local wineries.  We ended at Barrel Oak and split a bottle of their Bowhaus Red and a wood-fired pizza in front of a fire pit.  It was a pretty perfect day.
