Sangria, Sunflowers, and Scenery at Weed Orchards & Winery
Sangria sunflowers and scenery at Weed Orchards & Winery, nestled amidst the rolling hills of Marlboro, New York – a haven for wine lovers, flower enthusiasts, and those seeking a delightful escape from the ordinary. This past weekend, I had the pleasure of experiencing their annual Sangria Fest, and let me tell you, it was a feast for the senses!
Sangria Under the Summer Sun:
Sangria Fest is an explosion of color, flavor, and fun. The moment you step onto the farm, you’re greeted by a vibrant atmosphere. Local artisans showcase their wares, live music fills the air, and the aroma of freshly prepared food mingles with the sweet scent of blooming flowers.
The star of the show, of course, is the sangria. Weed Orchards offers a variety of delicious sangria flavors, each one crafted with fresh, seasonal fruits. From the classic red to a refreshing white sangria, there was something to tantalize every taste bud. Paired with delicious local cheeses, breads, and savory snacks, it was the perfect summer afternoon indulgence.
A Field of Floral Delights:
But Sangria Fest isn’t just about the drinks. The true showstopper is the farm itself, particularly during peak wildflower season. Weed Orchards boasts sprawling fields bursting with vibrant blooms. Sunflowers, towering and majestic, reach for the sky, their golden faces reflecting the summer sun. Fields of lavender exude a calming fragrance, and wildflowers in every color imaginable paint a breathtaking tapestry across the landscape.
Strolling through these fields is a sensory experience unlike any other. The gentle hum of bees amidst the flowers, the warm summer breeze carrying their sweet scent, and the sheer visual beauty of the blooms – it’s a moment of pure tranquility amidst nature’s vibrant display.
A Family-Friendly Fun Fest:
While I enjoyed a relaxing afternoon sipping sangria and admiring the flowers, Sangria Fest offers something for everyone. Families with children can enjoy fun activities like face painting and games. Live music creates a lively atmosphere, and the on-site winery allows visitors to explore their selection of award-winning wines.
