What a great little hidden gem in Fayetteville! Roger & Emily are such sweet hosts at this mom and pop pick-your-own-grapes operation. They gave our military spouse group a lovely talk about the history of the vineyard and grape-growing in North Carolina while we sat in the shade in comfy chairs. Then they gave us our buckets and away we went to pick our own muscadine and scuppernong grapes. The prices are very reasonable—$5 for a small bucket (4lbs) up to $20 for the large bucket. You can even just pick a pint for $1! Great for families. They also keep bees on site and have a couple of picnic tables if you want to bring your own lunch. Note: the road sign is small so look for “GRAPES” or the smaller “Auman Vineyards” sign off of 71st Rd and turn there.

We were a group of 4 and were able to have the 3 o'clock tour all to ourselves. Great tour guide - retired grade school teacher who was very knowledgeable about the local history and specifically the history of the house. The museum has done a great restoration job of the entire house. Rather fascinating to step back over a hundred years ago. The house is large and obviously a wealthy family. Loved the architecture - especially all the wood! Interesting point to the house - it had electricity/gas and heat when built. However, no plumbing. One of the original family member lived in the house until 1988 without the luxury of plumbing! The backyard is set up to host events, including weddings (which does have a bathroom facility). Lovely setting.

We are so fortunate to have such a fabulous botanical garden in Fayetteville. My children love to visit and play in the children's garden. They have many workshops for children. The list seems to expand each year. I love to watch the vast species of native plants flowering during the different seasons. The walking trails are fun to do with children, as well. The Christmas light display is a must do over the holiday season. The garden is also one of our "go to" places to bring out of town guests.

We always have a great time at their games! There isn't a bad seat in the stadium. They have a play area to keep your kids busy before and during the games. You have plenty of choices for food and they even have a full bar in the outfield. It is definitely worth taking in a game here!
