The restrooms (including the portable toilets in the parking areas) were serviced frequently so they were pretty clean. They offered golf cart "ADA" rides anyone needing a lift to/from parking and the track. The vendor food was ridiculously expensive but that's no surprise. For the events - no seat was a bad one. I would definitely go to this venue again!

I was out in Martinsville Virginia at the Speedway last week for the Cookout 400 which is part of…read morethe NASCAR Cup Series. It was a work related trip of sorts and it was my first time at a NASCAR race. It won't be the last since the company I work for has three more the rest of the year (Nashville, Talladega and Daytona). I'm looking forward to it and I'll review those tracks after I visit. The track itself is one of the oldest and shortest on the circuit. It's nestled on a hilly stretch off 220 (Greensboro Rd) on the south side of town. Surprisingly it was fairly easy to get in and out of the parking lot before and after the race. The Sherriff's Deputies and Virginia State Troopers kept traffic moving. I was able to go down to Pit Row which was fantastic. I was able to see what takes place behind the scenes and it's fascinating. I literally had a blast. The food options here are akin to your typical state fair menu. Corn Dogs, Burgers, Fried Chicken, Buckets of Fries, etc etc.. They have the "famous" Martinsville hot dog. I didn't partake in any of that because my company had a suite and food was provided there. Plus, I'm on a keto based diet so all of that kind of food is a "no no" right now. Maybe next time. Overall it was a great experience. The track and stands are nice and the people were great. If you're a race fan this may be on your list of tracks to visit. Y'all will have a good time.

When we arrived around 2, the place was absolutely packed. We were seated at a table under the…read morepergola and it was chilly and so noisy that my friend and I couldn't even hear each other due to all the chatter from all the guests. From what I could see there was at least one, maybe two birthday parties going on as well as a bridal shower. A picnic table out from under the overhang in the sun opened up so we moved there and it was much better. They had live music which was pretty good, although with all the noise you could barely hear him. We ordered and shared a red flight, white flight and a bunch of their spreads which came with croissant bread. Everything was delicious. My complaints are: being only open on Sundays which is inconvenient and also creates pandemonium on the one day you are open for a very limited 4 hour slot, no tastings, just flights (for true wine people this is a no no), limited seating and parking is in a field, also they were out of the baguette (they substituted the croissants which was better than the pita they said they were going to give us) and the barbecue brisket spread which was I found to be ridiculous; I mean you're open for only 4 hours one day of the week.... You need to plan better. A lot of negatives but their wine and food is still good enough for me to say that I would return.

The family and I went to Stanburn Winery this past weekend. We were staying in Fairy Stone State…read morePark and they gave us a handout from Stanburn Winery. We decided to stop in for a visit on Saturday when the weather turned sour. Stanburn is a family run winery that sits on 20 or so planted acres. The vineyard itself is very well maintained and has a number of varietals planted. The tasting room is small and cozy and is decorated with awards, pictures, wine refrigerators, and some winery merchandise. Tabatha was very polite and was happy to talk about the winery and its history. Many wineries overlook this part and choose to focus on getting people through a tasting to get to the next group. It was nice to have a conversation to go along with the tasting. The wines were all refreshing. They are not overly tannic, so if big and bold tannic wines are your preference then you may not enjoy Stanburn's wines. Stanburn's Traminette was a treat. I find traminette to be hit or miss due to the often times unpleasant combination of aroma and residual sugar. Stanburn's take on this grape is to ferment it dryer which I found to be very pleasing. The Cab Franc Reserve was fantastic. The longer time in barrel greatly enhanced the character with a touch of oak that elevates this wine over the 2015 Cab Franc. The Chardonnay is clean and crisp and was held in stainless steel. If you avoid Chardonnay due to the "buttery" aspect, fear not. This Chardonnay was held in stainless steel which makes it a different beast compared against one fermented or aged in oak. I could keep going, but the bottom line is that if you're in the area, or if you see one of Stanburn's wines available for sale, do yourself a favor and give them a try.

Our first night we camped out at the end of the field and since it's towards the end of the season we had the place to ourselves. That afternoon we tubed down the Dan River for 3 hrs. For people who love spending time in nature it was heaven! Floating down the river through beautiful woods and pastures is the perfect thing to do on a lazy Summer afternoon, especially after a long drive. There's also fishing there. That night we cooked around the fire, and made music. We were joined by the owners who are very friendly and knowledgeable about the local history, sustainability, geology, agriculture and just about anything else you might want to know. Just ask Andrew! They have bathrooms with toilets, and showers (hot water)! For anyone looking for an affordable, rustic and low key destination, I can't recommend it enough.
