Fox Den Winery & Cellar

Fox Den Winery & Cellar

After visiting the Valerie Theatre for the 9/11 tribute on Friday, we had some time before meeting friends that evening.  We  took a little stroll through downtown Inverness, stopped at the new location of La-Te-Da, and then noticed the Fox Den Winery & Cellar a few doors up the street.  So we checked it out.

Terry and I were pleasantly surprised!

Yong Madys, one of the owners, recommended a chardonnay and while we enjoyed our wine, we talked with her and the other patrons.  Everyone was very friendly and there was a laid-back atmosphere.

The decor is beautiful with many special touches.

Last week Terry and I were part of a small group that took a tour of the Valerie Theater in Inverness.  The restoration of this historic building was recently completed with just a few finishing touches remaining. Here’s a few photos I snapped during the visit.

On Friday September 11, the Valerie will host the 9/11 World Trade Center Memorial Exhibit & Tribute.  Artifacts from WTC will be displayed throughout the theater and there will also be a Freedom Walk to the Liberty Park 9/11 Memorial at 5:30pm outside the theater.

This is a beautiful addition to Inverness and there will be many more special events at the venue in the future.
