Treehouse Vineyards

Ahhh, summer time is here. Joe and I recently soaked up the sun with a trip to the Treehouse Vineyards in Monroe, NC. We actually bought a Groupon months ago to try this place out, but kept waiting for the weather to get nicer. It was well worth the wait. The winery was tucked away in a residential area of Monroe and was kind of hard to find. The Groupon included a tasting and tour for two people, but beforehand we had a little time to kill. To beat the heat we enjoyed wine slushies (I think they called them wine-a-ritas). We sat and drank our slushies while Facetiming with Scott and Amy. Glad you guys called!

Seriously, this was the view behind the main building. The winery got its name from a treehouse that was built by the owner. He built it for his wife and stuck some rocking chairs up there, which is 30 feet in the air. Guests can rent it by the hour and enjoy the view while relaxing with a glass of wine. We never went up there, but heard from some other people that it was pretty neat.

We walked a bit through the vineyard towards the pond. I can't stress enough how beautiful of a day it was. The weather was perfect for this outing.

Each Saturday night the winery has a live band for guests to enjoy. We didn't stick around for that, but it was a great idea. This is definitely a place we will keep in mind for guests. Monroe is about 30 minutes south of where we live so it's not too far away. Totally worth it!
