Wine & Beer Fest

We made a trip out to Boone Hall Plantation for Charleston's Wine and Beer Festival yesterday and had a blast! After spending the afternoon at the pool, we spent the evening drinking wine.
The weather was perfect and the grounds were beautiful. They had 3 live bands in the big tent you see below.
When we entered the festival we were given a wine glass. We made our way around to all the smaller tents tasting all different kinds of wine. We had lots of favorites and ended up buying 8 bottles! We're ready for some visitors to share our wine with.
Once we knew what wine we liked...we had a few glasses! We decided to get food from the mexican tent. Yummy tacos and pico de gallo! Reminded me of home.
After the wine fest we headed out to a bar we were told to visit while on the east side of town. It was on the water. We made new friends right away! Lauren and I set a goal when we first arrived in Charleston that we needed to find someone with a boat. I am pleased to report that it only took us 2 weeks to make a friend with a boat!
We had a few adult beverages and might have gotten a little out of control. Fun was had by all! (So much fun that we didn't make it out on the boat the next day. But don't worry, we will make onto a boat before we leave!)
