Let’s ride into the weekend BRaB style! This weekend we'll visit some old favorites, see some new sites and make some new friends in and around the Oberlin area.
 |
| Matus Winery |
Our glasses are always half full at Matus Winery and Vermilion Valley Vineyards. Both wineries, situated on different legs of Gore Orphanage Road, have fantastic wine offerings with their own unique services.
Matus has live entertainment beginning at 8pm Friday and Saturday nights and Janice's Cafe Stuffed Pork Chops served for dinner at 5:30pm on Friday, Sept. 30. A different restaurant's entree featured each Friday.

| Vermilion Valley Vineyards |
Vermilion Valley also has live entertainment this Friday and Saturday beginning at 7pm. Their dinner menu is offered from 5-10pm. I recommend their homemade hummus served with the Trio Spread!

| Riverdog Retreat |
A must visit along the BRaB is Riverdog Retreat. It is truly that – a retreat. Discover its artful landscaping this Saturday and Sunday at their Open House. Explore the Retreat at your leisure and enjoy a complementary wine tasting featuring wines from the Vermilion Valley and elsewhere presented by Peter Badal, wine consultant at Heinen's. The property is also the home of Riverdog Studio/Gallery and is owned by artists Deborah Banyas and T.P. Speer who are also your hosts for Riverdog Retreat.

New, on East College Street in Oberlin, we welcome Cowhaus Creamery to the BRaB! Stop by this weekend and welcome them to the route. Ice creams in the 'haus this weekend: Red Cedar Coffee which is an organic fair trade Columbian - specifically roasted for Cowhaus.
“Our ice creams are, pure and clean. We only use cream and milk from happy pasture-grazed cows and when available, we use 100% organic cream. Our ice creams are fresh. From the pasture, to our creamery in Elyria, to our dipping cabinets in Oberlin... and finally to your cone usually takes about 4 days. To keep it in perspective, most of the ice cream in grocery stores can be anywhere from at least 6 months to a year old.” – Cowhaus Creamery Facebook

Don’t miss the Frank Lloyd Tours on Sunday at the The Weltzheimer/Johnson House on Morgan Street, the First Usonian Home in Ohio. Hours are 12pm until 5pm. Guided tours begin on the hour until 4pm.
Hope this helped get your wheels spinning for the weekend ahead!
