I usually write about the wineries in North Carolina but on occasion I like to take a break and writer about something else. But I just wanted to give a shout out to two place I visited over the past weekend while in Raleigh meeting my girlfriend's parents for the first time.
The weekend began on a Friday night at Capital Club 16 in downtown Raleigh. This place is awesome and provided the perfect environment to meet the parents. If you like great steaks and drinks in a historical building with great architecture then the Capital Club is a great choice. And it provides a very laid back and friendly environment to meet the parents in.
OK I guess her mom liked me, because at the end of the night her mom asked me if I would like to come with them to a winery on Saturday night.
The name of the winery we visited the next day was Cloer Family Vineyards. My girlfriend says her mom visits many different wineries through out the Raleigh area but this is her go to winery when she wants her favorite bottle of wine.
To be honest I'm not that big of a wine drinker but spending a few hours at this country winery was definitely a great relaxing time for me.
Cloer Family Winery is located at:
8624 Castleberry Rd.
Apex, NC 27523
Phone: 919.387.5760
I'm sure you know how it feels the first time you meet the parents of a girlfriend that you are serious about... Anyone nervous in Raleigh like me? If you are currently in Raleigh and are looking for a place to eat or spend time with the parents of your new girlfriend I would highly recommend both Capital Club 16 for steaks and Cloer Family Winery for both a great bottle of wine and beautiful scenery.
