Cave B: Inn & Winery
Cave B is an incredible maze of wondrous delights! The entrance, generously winds through rows and rows of grape vines, with walking paths crossing this way and that, and eventually, if you have your wits about you, you end up at the Inn's main building to an inviting warm red glow escaping from "Tendrils" the Inn's award winning restaurant. Brimming with class and a classy Northwest style, Cave B immediately struck me as a destination I would like to return to.
Upon my somewhat tardy arrival Brandie and I enjoyed a wonderfully delicious, decadent, and photogenic dinner at the Inn's restaurant. I had beef- which is a rare occurrence (excuse the pun) and it was to die for!! There was also an incredible salad and unbelievable dessert. Needless to say-- we indulged so thoroughly that we didn't even need breakfast the next morning!! :)Yum!! (side note: I found out later that the "Chef de Cuisine" at Tendrils is a former school mate of mine from Whidbey Island-- small world isn't it!)
After dinner we arrived to our rooms to find "turndown" treats for human + canine... Complete with Halloween themed ribbon. Very sweet. (And by sweet I mean of the chocolate variety. Olivia reported that the milkbone was tasty as well...)
After some "Cave B" wine, an excessive dose of doggie kisses from Scout and Ziggy, and some half-assed planning about the next day we said goodnight and I wandered back to find Olivia making herself quite at home...
And in the morning... We awoke to an incredible sunrise filling in the gorge with orange liquid light and a still-burning fire. *sigh* Yes please.
The rest of the morning was spent taking more photos... I had the chance to walk the grounds with the CityDog dogs running here and there. Good fun. Then a shoot with Brandie, and pan of the lobby, a shot of the Chef, and then back to Seattle- straight to the W for yet another photo adventure in a hotel establishment... Yee haw!! (I should add that we narrowly avoided the impending snow in Snoqualmie pass: Beat it by only a few hours *whew*)
Two thumbs enthusiastically up for Cave B. A warm thank you to the wonderful staff for a delightful stay, and delicious meal and some incredible scenery.
