Dear friend,
Arrington Vineyards, October 2012. Every season better than the last. Like a little vacation, only free. Sometimes people email me to say, "I'm visiting Nashville. Where should I go?" Sometimes I forget to tell them to pack a picnic and drive half an hour south of town through some of the nicest countryside in Tennessee. Stop when you get to the long drive with the big wine barrels, walk into the cozy lodge at the top of the hill, enjoy some free sips of local wine and some handmade raspberry chocolate bits. In the winter, there are bonfires. Sometimes a bluegrass band. Picnics year-round, even in the snow. It's one of my favorite pieces of land on this whole earth.
Love,
Rebekka
P.S. The color-coordination of the pants and skirt was not premeditated. I promise!
P.P.S. Come visit me over at The Etsy Blog today, where I get to pick out some favorite Dia de los Muertos pretties :)

I need to plan a little getaway with the hubs. This looks lovely! And I love the colorful outfits!
Sounds wonderful!
Absolutely lovely :) So sharp and the colours are magical, especially those pops of red.
Sounds absolutely lovely. I don't live in Nashville, but I live in the bay area so the closest thing in comparison would probably be Napa. I may have to talk my hubs into a fun trip =) You guys are cute BTW

A picnic in a vineyard sounds like a fabulous idea. No why didn't I think of that ; )
i always love when you go to arrington. it was a place i loved so much in nashville, and when my boyfriend and i first started dating we had an amazing date there and reminisce about it a lot. love that you tell people to go there - it's just the best!
Beautiful!
That looks perfect, makes me think of my local faves.
Beautiful place, friends and good wine... This sounds (and looks!!) perfect! :)
picnics are the bestest things ever! lovely photos, that view is beautiful :) x -Jianine
Very jealous! We are hunkering down for the Winter in Scotland, rather than wearing flip flops and picnicking in the park :)
Next time I'm in Nashville, I shall have to convince my significant other (a Nashville native) to take me to Arrington! Sounds like a beautiful place -- I miss visiting wineries!
Lovely photos! I love visiting vineyards, always so much fun!
Curiously, Kimberly
This looks so beautiful! I've only been to Nashville twice, but this post makes me want to go back.
Looks like a great getaway! Nothing better than country drives and some good wine :)
Just gorgeous!! I love these photos!
ahhh...so beautiful and relaxing. what a gorgeous scenery. xo
love the reds together x
I love Nashville in the Fall. And wine. And red. And red wine. OK, you and your gorgeous photos have totally knocked me off my work track. Off to pinterest to look at wine and clothes. : )

Gosh, this is beautiful. Picnics are one of my very favourite things but picnics with good people in a gorgeous location? I don't think life gets much better than that!

Nostalgia is setting in! My husband and I spent a week in Tennessee a couple of years ago for our honeymoon and we, very fortunately, stumbled upon Arrington Vineyards. Such a lovely place and wonderful wines. The raspberry was definitely one of my favorites! Thank you for unknowingly stirring a happy memory for me :)
Loving all that cherry red!! It reminds me of these Cambridge bowls from the 30's that I bought at an estate sale. Gorgeous as always!
Pretty pictures! I love how you frame the subject matter. Also love the art! Just found you through foodloveswriting blog.
