Villa Antonio Winery

We were supposed to go to Hermann but we were not sure if Caleb was coming down with something or not so we decided to stay around home. Eric really had his heart set on going to a winery so we did just that. After a soccer game and building Frankenstein’s at Lowes we headed out for a picnic to a place that is noted for being one of Saint Louis best kept secrets, Villa Antonio Winery. It was really beautiful!!! Eric and I decided to do their wine tasting but they had it set up that we could walk around and enjoy things and return for our next sample. It was so peaceful and enjoyable that we were there for 3 hours and it took those three hours to complete the sampling. I think we end up with 3 to 4 glass of wine by the end of it. The kids were with us but they were having such a wonderful time that it was perfect. They loved running around and finding new things to explore. We saw butterfly’s, grasshoppers, a caterpillar, ducks and a goose. We found deer foot prints that Caleb was really excited about. We found another set of prints that took us a long time to figure out they were Caleb’s soccer cleats. Ha, ha, ha… we all had a good laugh at that one. Oh and live music. It was a really good day.
