While arriving at RIC Richmond International Airport recently I was greeted by an invitation to vineyard living at New Kent Vineyards. The boarding gate ramp welcomes you to wine country living here in Virginia. New Kent Winery is encouraging you to make your home among the vineyards, winery and their golf course here in New Kent County. Scenic and tasteful beauty - who could ask for more? We already know there is a lot going on at New Kent and now many people are starting to call it home. Vineyard living is a lifestyle. This year the Chamber of Commerce is holding their first wine festival. A taste of New Kent is the place to be on May 16th, 2009.
