Lynn Easton Andrews & Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards to be Featured in The Knot Magazine this Fall 2013!

Co-Owner of Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards and owner of Easton Events LLC, Lynn Easton Andrews knows a thing or two about design, style and pure elegance.  This past January the famed Virginia wedding planner claimed recognition in The Knots  “100 days of Inspiration Starts Today!” piece which offered creative tips and insight from ten seasoned planners throughout the US.

And now, she’s done it again!  We are beyond thrilled to announce that  Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards and its talented proprietor will be featured in The Knot Magazine this Fall 2013!  It was a fabulous couple of days working alongside a focused team dedicated to capturing the rustic elegance of our Vineyard for the upcoming feature.  The two day photo shoot was a success with contributions from some of our favorites-Eric Kelley, Jen Fariello, and Southern Blooms by Pat’s Floral Designs!

Lynn sat down with Rebecca Doglin of The Knot to share her expertise and further discuss our unique wedding venue that was highlighted as one of the “50 Romantic Wedding Venues in the U.S.

“A farm for all seasons,” as Lynn described the venue that shines in the summer and twinkles in the winter.  A wedding venue that boasts a rustic, organic feel on the exterior, yet allows endless possibilities on the interior,  that can be anything you want it to be, “a blank canvas” succinctly stated by Rebecca. It is a space that Brides can completely transform to echo their vision for their dream day!

It was an exciting couple of days as the Knot Magazine settled in for a two day shoot.  The Knot Live interviewed Lynn Easton right here on the Veranda.  Take a peak at Lynn and Rebecca Dolgin from the Knot!

2013 Monticello Cup Wine Competition

The Monticello Wine Trail announced the results of its annual wine competition in a ceremony at C&O Restaurant on April 11th.  Vineyard representatives congregated in the downtown Charlottesville restaurant savoring wine and cheese samplings eager to hear the results of the 2013 competition, which received 64 wines from twenty wineries in the appellation.  A tasting panel comprised of sommeliers, retailers, wine buyers and wine professionals awarded the 2013 Monticello Cup to Pollak Vineyards for its 2010 Meritage.  Congratulations Pollak Vineyards!

Our very own 2012 Chardonnay took home a Silver medal and made Pippin Hill proud!  This satisfying wine full of fresh pears and figs, coupled with wood and earth flavors make it a perfectly balanced wine that is ideal for a Spring afternoon.  Our 2012 Vintages, Sauvignon Blanc and Winemaker’s Select White were awarded the Bronze medal.

Plan your next outing to Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards for a glass of our refreshing 2012 Chardonnay paired with Chef’s croque monsieur sandwiches!
