Wheat State Wine Company
Posted on April 29, 2017 by Ching under Things to Do.
Rain was in the forecast but we didn’t let that stop us. I’m glad we pushed through with our plans to see Piper Leigh and the Smokin’ Section because it turned out to be a beautiful day for a country drive.
We saw Piper Leigh and her band perform for the first time last year when they opened for Jared & the Mill at the Orpheum.
We’d never been to Wheat State Wine Company before because of the hour-long drive to Winfield but, since Piper and her band were performing, we thought we would make an exception.
We were worried about the rain so I ended up wearing my rain boots but it turned out to be a beautiful day and the weather was perfect.
We arrived during soundcheck and got a really good spot.
The place is really lovely. Brian and I couldn’t believe we’d never been until that night. We will definitely be back.
Here’s a picture of my awesome rain boots. Also, Brian really liked the print on my Lularoe leggings. I do too. They’re super fun!
I loved all the lights, which helped to create the perfect ambiance.
I ended up getting a bottle of the Flat Pick. Brian had a glass of beer but opted out of getting an entire bottle of wine because he was driving. On the plus side, if you don’t drink the entire bottle, they can repackage it for you so you’re not driving home with an open container.
They also let you taste the wines if you can’t decide what you want.
The winery is open for free wine tastings and tours Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from noon to six o’clock in the evening. They also allow visitors to enjoy their wine and picnic on the grounds. Brian and I will definitely be back.
The 2017 summer concert series also has a fabulous lineup of musicians so I know for sure we will be back for another one of these events. I can’t wait.
