Looking Back On May – Local Tourist Style
Mother’s Day was Sunday, May 13 and my parents, sister, and I went to Vinoklet Winery, Restaurant and Vineyard. We’d never been before but I came across their Mother’s Day brunch online and we thought we’d check it out. It’s such a beautiful place! We took a few photos outside (you can see one above) because it was so gorgeous. As for the actual brunch, I have to admit it was only okay for me but everyone else seemed to really like it. I’d be curious to go back and check out the actual restaurant. I think brunch style was a bit difficult to pull off – the room was kind of small and my meat got cold. The dessert, on the other hand, was quite tasty!
After eating we went outside to take the above mentioned photos but to also check out some various vendors and craft booths that were set up. I immediately checked out the ladies who were selling LulaRoe because I’ve been wanting more of their Perfect T’s. Thankfully, I found one in my size that was really cute (I don’t always like the patterns). It was a fun day and my whole family did agree we should go back.

You ladies look absolutely lovely! I’m glad you found something you like, and the view looks great! ♥
That winery is lovely! I’m glad you went and enjoyed yourself. I need to play tourist more often in my city. Just need the time lolololol. It just flies!
Have a fabulous day. =)

What a great picture! The view is amazing.
There’s something very idyllic about vineyards, isn’t there? The few that are in between Louisville and Lexington are small, but very pretty.
oh that sounds like a fun mother’s day! I haven’t been to a ton of vineyards, but it sounds like the perfect place for Mother’s Day! 🙂 I love the photo of you guys. Too bad some of your food was cold, but hopefully the restaurant is really good when you go back someday. XO – Alexandra

Looks like you had a wonderful time! The view is lovely and I’m glad you got a Perfect T you liked. Good food, a lovely venue and shopping sounds great 🙂
What a great idea to spend Mother’s Day at a winery! You three look beautiful!
Love the picture! Wineries are so nice!
Excellent Mother’s Day spot! Vineyards are so relaxing.
That sounds like a great place to celebrate Mother’s Day! I love going to wineries and I think it’s even better that this one had a brunch!
I like that you find new ways of doing things with friends and family. Hugs…RO
Looks like a lovely time!
Oh I love your pic! Looking good Lauren! 🙂 oh a Winery/ Restaurant/ Vineyard! Is there anything better than food and wine? I THINK NOT! 🙂 Sorry to hear brunch was just ok but maybe next time it will blow you away 🙂 I would think with that beautiful weather they would have outdoor sitting!
Sounds like you all had a lovely Mother’s Day with your mom. Here is to a busy and happy June.
Looks like you had a fabulous Mother’s Day! I love wineries and the one you’re at looks beautiful! Glad to hear you enjoyed your time! 🙂
It looks like you’ve had a great time!! I need to visit more winery’s myself. Hopefully you can find better food next time.
Thanks for sharing the upcoming dates to this series. I keep hoping to participate. Just need to stay home long enough. Hope tomorrow is glossies???!!!
Winery places are always so pretty and so fun! I love doing things local.
You can never go wrong spending the day at a winery 🙂
What a lovely photo of you all. I love visiting wineries too. They’re always so pretty and I love learning about the different kinds of wine and how they’re made.
We have done Mother’s Day at a winery before and it is always so pretty, especially if it is a nice day outside. The photo of you with your mom and sister is a great one!! I love brunch! Sorry it wasn’t perfect, but at least the finishing dessert was tasty!

I cannot believe tomorrow is June!!
What a lovely photo of you all!!
Haven’t visited a winery before. I’m glad you girls had a blast 🙂
Looks like such a great time! I need to play local tourist in my own area soon.
That sounds like a fun day, although that’s a bummer that the brunch was just okay. Brunch is one of my favorite things to eat out, so I’d be disappointed if the food wasn’t very good. I love that picture of you with your mom and sister!
Sounds like it was a nice day with your family 🙂
I’m glad you had such a lovely Mother’s Day! It’s fun to be a local tourist!
That is so lovely! I just found a local winery that had a massive back gazebo with a wood burning stove. The owner’s mother made homemade pizzas in it and they are so delicious. Of course I couldn’t go there for mother’s day – I mean come on…make his mom make me pizza! I imagine he probably hired someone else to do it LOL!
Aww how fun, and great pic! I agree some of the LuLaRoe designs are not quite for me either. Glad you found one that worked!
What a fabulous picture of you ladies! And such a pretty background too. I’m preferential to vineyards since I’m from wine country in California. ♥ Here’s hoping you enjoy your meal a little bit more if you end up going back there but yay for your dessert being delicious!
