Plan a private eventA first look at the vineyard and the tasting room.
Our Cabernet Franc and Viognier vines have grown at Dover Hall since 2018. The tasting room is still being built, so two of these pictures are the architect's drawings.
The quietest room at 7 Lady Vineyards has no walls.
Our walking trail runs six waypoints, from the woods to the Viognier vines. Just a stroll through the woods and that has made all the difference. No phone, no pace, no reason to hurry.
Waypoint 1 of 6The Path
7 Lady Vineyards has an interpretive nature trail tucked into its woods, and it asks you to slow down.
We built it to disturb as little as possible. The path follows the ground as we found it.
Its borders are deadfall and blowdown, the limbs and trunks that storms and age brought down. Nothing was hauled in. Nothing was paved.
Waypoint 2 of 6The Knoll
The idea comes from Japan. In 1982, Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries introduced shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing. It means taking in the forest through your senses.
Listen for birds. Run a hand over moss or bark. Breathe in damp earth and pine.
Waypoint 3 of 6The Rest
A storm brought this tree down. We cut just enough to let you through. Count the rings as you pass. They hold more years than any bottle in the cellar.
Waypoint 4 of 6Peaceful Meadow
This isn’t a hike, and there’s no pace to keep. Stroll, stop, or sit a while. We ask that you leave your phone in your pocket, or better yet, in the car.
Studies link time among trees to lower blood pressure, lower stress hormones and better sleep. Researchers point to phytoncides, natural compounds that plants release, which raise the activity of the body’s natural killer cells.
Waypoint 5 of 6Berm View
Signs along the way name the trees beside you and the soil under your feet, so you learn the forest as you walk it.
