Drink the pink

Hey, guys! It's your favorite wine gal, the Vineyard Vixen who loves nothing more than exploring fabulous wine country destinations and sipping on a glass of delicious rosé. I mean, what's not to love?

Rosé has become increasingly popular in recent years, and it's not hard to see why. It's light, refreshing, and pairs perfectly with just about anything. Whether you're enjoying a picnic in the park, lounging by the pool, or indulging in a fancy dinner, a glass of rosé is always the perfect choice.

I am giddy with excitement planning my spring and summer wine country travels. With so many gorgeous tasting rooms to visit and the dizzying variety of special events, the preparation is almost as fun as the actual trips themselves. I can honestly say that wine country’s bounty of experiences is truly overflowing this year.
