Guests and friends of Gideon Ridge enjoy a weekly ride leaving from Bistro Roca restaurant each Monday evening at 5:30. The ride is 2 levels: a 15 mile "intermediate level ride" and a 30 mile "more advanced" ride. Of course there are hills to climb. But there is also great conversation and encouragement among the participants. Rides will continue through the end of October. We can also arrange privately guided rides or give cue sheets for self guided rides.

Moffett Winery wine pairings will be featured at Restaurant G on Thursday, April 15 and Saturday, April 17. The wine dinner with Trent Moffett on Friday is currently sold out. But you can still enjoy an a-la-carte version of the dinner with wine pairings. Call 828-295-3644 for details and reservations.

We would like to share the tasting notes on the Moffett Willow's blend which will be featured.

Deep purple color - Powerful aroma of blackberries, spice, earth and toasted oak. The rich aromas follow through on the palate. Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc. - Trent Moffett

Gideon Ridge Inn welcomes Ms. Felt's second grade class for tea at the Inn. Gideon Ridge Inn serves tea at 4 PM daily for inn guests and the public. For the past 12 years, once a year the second graders from Blowing Rock School dress up and enjoy a proper tea. Today, we served Earl Gray tea, scones, chocolate covered strawberries, and other cookies and confections.

We invite parents and relatives of these fine students to share this blog and other photos with friends and relatives.
