A Wonderful Monday at the Yorkshire Heart Vineyard

What a treat last Monday was thanks to Kate, PR extraordinaire of Avocado Events who cleverly combined two of mine and many others’ favourite things: delicious wine and meaningful networking at a vineyard no less: the achingly beautiful Yorkshire Heart in between Harrogate and York.

It was hard to remember we were in Yorkshire, frankly and not Bordeaux with a tour on-site, giving us the opportunity to gape at their glorious vineyards, impressive brewery and distillery, sweet cafe, and shop. It would make a perfect day out for the family so make a note.

The pièce de résistance of the day was the wine tasting of course, with some of the finest wines and beer I’ve ever tasted, produced and sold there. No wonder they’re award winning!

Papa G came along with me (my Dad) in the guise of being a babysitter (he’s usually a good one but couldn’t resist sitting in the sun and sipping wine) but he did have his uses as he bought several bottles of wine in the shop before we left as a gift for me!

It was also wonderful to catch up with fabulous friends and owners of brilliant businesses: Emma, founder of The Jewellery Makers, Ali of Unique Home Escapes (where we stayed recently) and my pal Rebecca, amongst others.

Huge thank you to Sarah Burton Photography (former Assistant Headteacher turned exemplary photographer) for these utterly charming photos I shall always treasure.

More thank yous are in order as follows: sumptuous finger-licking good wood fired pizza care of Dough Disciples, spectacular balloons by The Charm Events, scrumptious cupcakes by Natalie Bakes Cakes and the sweetest dragon stick toy (held by Florence) by party organiser Forest Craft and Play.

Here’s to more fun events up North, hey!

What a cracker of a Monday!

Two tickets were kindly gifted but as always, my words are honest.
