Barn and Bottle Winery

 

Altamont now has its very own Winery! 

The Barn and Bottle has a rustic and comfortable atmosphere that reflects the farm community that inspired it.

It's been ten years since owners Andy and Melissa Voelker planted their first grape vines. Their first batch, in 2016, yielded 24 bottles.

 Now, they are creating award-winning wines!

Besides wine, they also offer bottled beer and soda, pizza, meat and cheese, and slushies. 

 

For hours, directions, and special events (or to book an event) check out the Barn and Bottle Facebook page.

Oh, and while you're there, ask about the history of the bar! 

Snow Day!

First there was rain, then freezing rain, then sleet, then snow (8 inches, according to the National Weather Service). So it's been a messy, cold few days.

Ballard's Nature Center

 I still go out to the Nature Center weekly, but I don't want this blog to become "everything Ballard's", so if you are interested, I have an Instagram that is mainly pictures I take on my walks. Check it out if you are interested. 

It's Fair Week and the Carnival Has Arrived!

 

Memorial Day Parade

Altamont was able to hold it's annual Memorial Day parade this year. There was a nice crowd, which was great to see.
