Take Me to the Vino!

On Saturday, I surprised my boyfriend by taking him on the “Take Me to the Vino Wine Tour,” an all-day excursion, visiting some of the finest wineries of the Hudson Valley. Every weekend, year round, buses leave from Times Square and take you around New York State to enjoy delicious food and wine, not to mention incredible landscapes. We began our day at 9:30am with breakfast and mimosas on the bus. From that point forward, the consumption never ceased! We had an amazing hostess named Revi. She was wildly entertaining and made each bus ride from winery to winery nearly more fun than the wineries themselves.

But I haven’t even mentioned the best part: our tour bus was a “Karaoke Bus!” That’s right. In between wineries, passengers got up out of their seats to perform their favorite karaoke songs. But wait, there’s more! At first it seemed like a mere coincidence that the first couple karaoke performances we’re literally the best renditions of popular songs you could possibly imagine. But by the fourth or fifth performance, the rest of the bus realized that they’re had to be more to the story. It just so happens that several passengers taking the tour that day were professional, on-Broadway performers! Can you believe it?!?! I was expecting food, drinks, and landscapes but then to top it off, Brenden and I got to experience impromptu performances by true Broadway performers, first-hand! Unbelievable. I can honestly say that the entire experience was one of the best of my life.
