TGGRRR (Ali) Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 I'm really excited about this run. I checked out the winery and it is very dog friendly so that's cool since I love scratching dogs and smooching their furry noses. The winery doesn't serve food so we should find a restaurant for lunch after. Anyone know the area or should we just check the google? Right now we have a small group that won't need reservations, but if we grow we might need to be more formalized. Of course, after the parade we showed up with like 20 people with 15 minutes notice and the restaurant handled us happily. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

If they do, it's prepackaged cheese/meats, etc. However, most are fine with you bringing your own food.

They said we can bring food, but with it being cold I didn't know if there is enough room for us to all eat there. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
NYRican MC40 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 Just in case, Marshall has a couple of places to eat, Also driving back (toward Manassas) Gainesville has a bunch of choices
carman63 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 It's funny that BOW states they don't sell food. All I know is that when we were there, there were 3-4 different areas set up, selling BBQ, sandwiches, etc. You might ask to see if any of those food venues will be active. That said, Marshall has a few places, as does Linden. Both aren't too far away.
unstable Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 The few times we have gone, we picnic. They have indoor space, with tables chairs couches etc. So typically there is room to sit, relax sip wine and eat whatever you bring. In the warmer months they allow other vendors to sell food during the weekends. They are very dog friendly, since its too cold to sit outside, we won't be bringing one, she will NOT behave inside with other dogs around. Brian 2006 British racing green with black roof.

1975_mini Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Posted February 13, 2015 I am keeping an eye on the weather and will keep everyone informed.
