No 73: the Honeymoon: Blackberry Farms

Saturday, March 14, 2009

With my sweetheart on his way, I've been thinking about vacations. Fantastic, perfect, sexy vacations in beautiful little hotels in lovely places. And while this might surprise you, dear reader, I've been thinking a lot about a farm in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.
Blackberry Farm is a luxury estate featuring a passel of livestock, a mind-blowing wine cellar (and Scotch selection, for John), organic fresh vegetables, an orchard, artisanal cheeses, preserves and honey made on the grounds, and some of the most beautiful accommodations I've ever seen. Sporting clays, horseback riding, cycling, a spa and yoga facilities and world-class chefs (Zagat named it their Number 1 Small Hotel) provide all the additional entertainment you could ask for on your honeymoon, at least for me and my beau. I cannot stop daydreaming about this place. Take a peek at the website-you'll suddenly feel the urge to go to, of all places, Tennessee.
