Boozing and Cruising Virginia’s Route 151

Published

on

Nelson County has some of the most picture-perfect views of the Blue Ridge mountains in all of Virginia. Situated both in the mountains and in Rockfish Valley below, Nelson is the perfect backdrop for craft breweries, hard cideries, wineries, and distilleries. In fact, in the past decade these establishments have all popped up in the area and formed a craft beverage trail known as Nelson 151. (I mean, who wouldn’t want to sit in the shade with a drink in their hand, soaking up mountain views?) Nelson 151 is a perfect day trip from Charlottesville or even Richmond. Grab your sober driver, buckle up, and let’s hit the road! We’re going to booze and cruise in this guide to Virginia’s Nelson 151.

Cideries

Y’all know that I’m super into hard cider, right? I have definitely mentioned it before on this site and the odds are I will mention it again. Hard cider is my go-to alcoholic beverage. For that reason, I will lead this post with a summary of Route 151’s two cideries.

Bold Rock Hard Cidery

1020 Rockfish Valley Highway, Nellysford VA

Bold Rock is most definitely the king of hard cider in Virginia – if not the mid-Atlantic. Their ciders, which are sold in nine states, feature both signature flavors and seasonal varieties. Bold Rock has also recently broken into the hard seltzer industry with two low-calorie flavors. Last but not least, if you visit the Nellysford location on 151, you can try exclusive flavors available only at their Barrel Barn tasting room.

Bold Rock Must Tries:
Signature Series – Pear Cider, IPA, & Rosé
Seasonal Flavors – Ginger Turmeric, Peach, and Blackberry
Barrel Barn Exclusives – Barrel 78° (cider with a post-ferment addition of apple brandy!!)
Hard Seltzers – Cucumber Melon

Beyond the tasty drinks, Bold Rock is located on a hill above a stream with gorgeous views of the Blue Ridge. They also have a large field where they hold events such as movie screenings, music, and more.

Blue Toad Hard Cidery

462 Winery Lane, Roseland VA

Blue Toad is a hard cidery that was founded by three childhood best friends and is based in both Virginia and New York state. Blue Toad has three flagship ciders and a handful of seasonal flavors. Their ciders can be found in local groceries in both of their home states. I love fruity flavor pairings and was blown away by Blue Toad’s blueberry cider.

Blue Toad Must Tries:
Flagship Flavors: Black Cherry & Blue Ridge Blonde
Seasonal Flavors: Blueberry & Paddy Green

Blue Toad has a very charming and quaint pub-style tasting room and outdoor picnic table seating. We stayed longer than we meant to, just enjoying the fresh valley air and listening to a nearby babbling brook.

Wineries

If hard cider is my favorite alcoholic beverage, then I would say that wine is a very close second. Luckily for me – and you! – there is no shortage of award-winning Virginia wine to be found along Nelson 151.

Veritas Vineyard & Winery

151 Veritas Lane, Afton VA

Veritas Vineyard and Winery has been at the forefront of the Virginia wine scene since 1999. Their selection of wines is comprised of a variety of award-winners. Veritas’ name is a reference to the quote “In Vino Veritas” (In Wine there is Truth) by Pliny the Elder. Honestly, the truth about Veritas is that their wine is delicious and their winery is one of the classiest places I have ever been.

Veritas Must Tries:
Petit Verdot (red), Vigonier (white), and Mousseux Sparkling (rosé).

Veritas Winery’s vineyards and grounds are incredibly picturesque. It’s no wonder that Veritas is a very popular (and pricey) wedding venue. The rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge, a lush green meadow, a gorgeous grand ballroom… Pretty much the stuff a dream wedding venue is made of! Veritas also hosts an outdoor summer concert series called “Starry Nights,” where you can bring a picnic blanket and lie underneath the stars as local musicians play.

Flying Fox Vineyard

10368 Critzer Shop Road, Afton VA

A sister winery to Veritas, Flying Fox vineyard has been producing 8 locally-sourced wines since 2006. They also recently began their own line of Vermouth. Though I have not had the pleasure of visiting Flying Fox Vineyard, I hope to do so in the future! In the meantime, their Pinot Gris & Trio (red blend) wines have both won state-wide awards, so those are definitely at the top of my to-try list.

Cardinal Point Winery

9423 Batesville Road, Afton VA

According to their website, Cardinal Point’s winemaker Tim Gorman “is one of the few Virginia-born and educated winemakers in our area.” Though the winery itself only opened in 2002, the Gorman family has been growing grapes in their vineyard since the late 1980s. Unfortunately, I have not visited Cardinal Point yet. However, my good friend Steph is a wine connoisseur and she highly recommends their Rockfish Red and the Hopped Chardonnay.

Hill Top Berry Farm & Winery

2800 Berry Hill Rd, Nellysford, VA

Hill Top Berry Farm & Winery specializes in unique fruit wines and meads. Their fruit wines consist of everything from pears and plums to blueberries and blackberries. As their name suggests, they have a very attractive hill-top location. I have not been to Hill Top since I became of-age, however I did go when I was a bit younger to pick some delicious blackberries from their PYO plot amongst the grapevines. I would love to visit their tasting room to try either their spiced lavender mead (“Lavender Metheglin”) or their “Blue Heeler” blueberry wine.

Afton Mountain Vineyards

234 Vineyard Ln, Afton VA

Owned by UVA grads who couldn’t get enough of the area, Afton Mountain holds a special place in my heart. It’s where I did my first ever wine tasting on my 21st birthday. I’ve been going back to Afton Mountain every few years since then, and I love seeing how their business has grown. My gateway wine at Afton was their rosé, but as I’ve gotten older I have also come to appreciate their full-bodied reds.

Afton Mountain Must Tries:
Rosé, Gewurtztraminer (white), & Tradition (red)

Although each of the craft alcohol campuses along Route 151 has great views, I believe that Afton Mountain Vineyards has the best views. Since they are perched on a location higher up than most, their vantage point of the surrounding Rockfish Valley is incomparable. Afton Mountain is the perfect place to bring a picnic – no matter what the weather. In the Spring and Fall, you can enjoy the cooler temps out on the hillside. In the Summer and Winter, head into the Pavilion where you’ll be either cooled down or heated accordingly.

Breweries

Blue Mountain Brewery

9519 Critzers Shop Rd, Afton VA

The first brewery to establish itself in Nelson County, Blue Mountain features a number of beers made with Cascade hops. Not only that, but their brewpub has an extensive menu with many vegetarian and gluten-free choices. Back in the day, my family used to love to visit Blue Mountain for it’s restaurant fare – their specialty pizzas are *chef’s kiss emoji.* I am not a beer drinker myself – Emmett recommends the Full Nelson Virginia Pale Ale.

Wild Wolf Brewing Company

2461 Rockfish Valley Highway, Nellysford VA

Wild Wolf Brewery’s onsite restaurant and taproom was once a schoolhouse and now include a beirgarten & playground. Wild Wolf has six core-series beers as well as five rotating seasonal flavors. Their restaurant features farm-to-table provisions and has been voted #2 best farm-to-table in the Blue Ridge. Wild Wolf’s Area 151 Belgian-style blackberry beer is a local award-winner and comes highly recommended.

Devil’s Backbone Basecamp Brewpub & Meadows

200 Mosbys Run, Roseland VA

Inspired by European brewpubs, Devil’s Backbone features Euro-style craft beers and is one of the largest breweries in Virginia. (A caveat for local brew purists: Devil’s Backbone is now owned by Anheuser Busch). Devil’s Backbone brews 128 (!) beers and can be found in 15 states. The odds are that if you’re not not a local but you have tried a Virginia beer, it was from Devil’s Backbone.

Devil’s Backbone Must Tries:
Core Series – Vienna Lager
Throwback Series – Cattywompus & Tommy Two Fists
Specialty Series – Hibiscus Hard Lemonade

Devil’s Backbone is a pretty large establishment – remember the 128 beers? – that has a plethora of seating both indoor and outdoor. They also have an extensive menu that is one of the most vegan and vegetarian friendly on Route 151. I personally had the cauliflower steak there a few months ago and it was superb. Last but not least, Devil’s Backbone consistently hosts outdoor music onsite throughout the warmer months.

Distillery

At the moment, there is only one distillery located along Nelson 151. I have no doubt in my mind that more may pop up. In fact, Devil’s Backbone has been getting into the spirit distilling business as well. That being said, let me go ahead and talk about the award-winning Silverback Distillery.

Silverback Distillery

9374 Rockfish Valley Highway, Afton VA

I’m going to be real with you: this is the only distillery I have ever visited. Ever. I do really enjoy a craft cocktail. However, I’m really cheap so I rarely treat myself to any while out and about. Thus, on my visit to Silverback this past July, I went all out and got three cocktails in order to sample some of their signature liquor.

Silverback Must Tries:
Straight Up – Route 151 Proof Blackback Moonshine, Blackback Straight Bourbon, and Strange Monkey Gin.
Mixed Cocktails – Sex in the Jungle, Blushing Mandrill, Jungle Juice, and Peach Sour.

Silverback’s tasting room is small but welcoming – it’s really got a tiny-bar-in-the-city vibe. More than that, though, there is a big gorilla outside that you can pose with for a souvenir photograph. When you’ve had a few drinks, this is exactly what you want to do before leaving the distillery. (At least me and my crew did).

There you have it. Nelson 151 is the perfect adult’s day out in Virginia’s mountains. Have you ever been on a Craft Beverage Trail? Would you visit Nelson 151?

Mannacote: Italian-American Stuffed Pasta and Baked Dish

Published

on

Mannacote

If you’re craving a dish that embodies comfort and flavor, look no further than Mannacote. This delightful Italian-American creation combines the heartiness of stuffed pasta with the warmth of baked dishes, making it a favorite at family gatherings and holiday feasts alike. With layers of rich flavors and textures, Mannacote is not just food; it’s an experience steeped in tradition.

Whether you’re enjoying it on a chilly evening or serving it up for a special occasion, this delectable meal brings people together around the table. But what exactly makes Mannacote so unique? Let’s dive into its fascinating origins and discover how to recreate this culinary gem right in your own kitchen!

The Origins of Mannacote

Mannacote has a rich history that traces back to the heart of Italian-American cuisine. This delectable dish is believed to have been inspired by traditional Italian stuffed pasta recipes, where creativity flourished in immigrant kitchens.

As families settled in America, they adapted their culinary practices. Ingredients became more accessible and varied, resulting in unique interpretations of classic dishes. Mannacote emerged as a beloved comfort food, blending nostalgia with innovation.

The name itself hints at its roots; “cote” refers to an enclosure or small space—apt for the delicious fillings nestled inside each pasta shell.

Today, this dish reflects a fusion of cultures and flavors. It invites us into the homes where love and tradition meld through cooking methods passed down through generations. Each bite tells a story steeped in heritage and family gatherings around the dinner table.

Traditional Ingredients and Preparation

Mannacote is a delightful dish characterized by its rich flavors and comforting textures. At its core, the pasta is typically made from flour, eggs, and a pinch of salt. This simple combination creates a dough that’s both pliable and hearty.

The stuffing often features a blend of ricotta cheese, mozzarella, and grated Parmesan. Fresh herbs like basil or parsley add an aromatic touch that elevates the entire experience.

Preparation involves rolling out the dough into thin sheets before cutting them into squares or circles. Each piece gets filled with the cheesy mixture before being folded over—creating little pockets of goodness.

Once assembled, Mannacote can be baked in marinara sauce topped with more cheese until bubbly and golden brown. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will have everyone eagerly waiting for dinner to be served!

Variations of Mannacote

Mannacote is a versatile dish that can cater to various tastes and dietary preferences. One popular variation includes the use of different cheeses. Ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan blend beautifully in this stuffed pasta.

For those seeking a heartier option, meat lovers often add ground beef or sausage to the filling. This adds richness and depth of flavor that’s hard to resist.

Vegetarian variations have also gained popularity. Spinach, mushrooms, and roasted peppers create a delightful medley inside each piece of pasta.

Seafood lovers can find joy in using shrimp or crab mixed with ricotta for an ocean-inspired twist on traditional Mannacote.

The sauce is another area where creativity shines. While marinara is classic, pesto or alfredo sauces offer unique taste experiences that elevate this beloved dish even further.

How to Make Mannacote at Home: Step-by-Step Recipe

Making Mannacote at home is a delightful culinary adventure. Start by preparing the pasta dough. Combine flour and eggs until smooth, then let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Next, roll out your dough into thin sheets. Cut them into squares or rectangles, perfect for stuffing.

For the filling, mix ricotta cheese with grated Parmesan, chopped spinach, and seasonings like salt and pepper. Spoon this mixture onto each piece of pasta.

Fold over to create a pocket and seal the edges tightly using water to ensure they stay closed during cooking.

Boil these stuffed beauties in salted water until they float—usually around five minutes should do it! Drain carefully and set aside.

Layer them in a baking dish with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese before baking until bubbly. Enjoy this Italian-American classic right from your kitchen!

Serving Suggestions and Side Dishes

Mannacote is a hearty dish that pairs wonderfully with various sides. A simple mixed green salad can provide a refreshing crunch. Toss in some cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and a light vinaigrette for extra flavor.

Garlic bread is another classic companion. The warm, toasted slices are perfect for soaking up any delicious sauce left on the plate.

For those craving something heartier, consider serving roasted vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers alongside your Mannacote. Their natural sweetness complements the savory filling beautifully.

If you’re looking to elevate the meal further, try adding a side of creamy polenta or risotto. These dishes bring their own textures and flavors while harmonizing with the pasta.

Don’t forget about cheese! A sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano on top adds an irresistible finish to each bite.

The Perfect Wine Pairings for Mannacote

When it comes to pairing wine with Mannacote, the choice can elevate your dining experience. The rich flavors of this stuffed pasta dish call for something bold yet balanced.

A medium-bodied Chianti works beautifully. Its acidity complements the savory filling and marinara sauce, enhancing every bite.

If you prefer white wine, consider a crisp Pinot Grigio. It offers refreshing notes that contrast nicely with the heartiness of Mannacote.

For those who enjoy sparkling options, a Prosecco is delightful. The bubbles cleanse the palate between bites while adding an element of celebration.

Don’t shy away from exploring local varieties as well. A good Cabernet Sauvignon or even an Italian Barbera can bring new dimensions to your meal.

Experimenting with these pairings might just lead you to discover your perfect match!

Tips for Leftovers and Reheating

Storing leftover Mannacote can extend its deliciousness. Allow it to cool completely before placing it in an airtight container. This helps preserve flavor and texture for later enjoyment.

When it’s time to reheat, consider using the oven for a crispy finish. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the Mannacote in an oven-safe dish, cover with foil, and heat for about 20 minutes. Remove the foil during the last few minutes for that golden touch.

If you’re short on time, a microwave works too. Use medium power settings and cover with a damp paper towel to keep moisture locked in. Heat in intervals of one minute until warm.

For best results, add a splash of marinara or olive oil before reheating; this prevents drying out while enhancing flavors. Enjoy those leftovers just as much as when they were freshly made!

A Modern Twist on a Classic Dish

Mannacote is perfect for reinvention. Chefs are now adding unexpected ingredients to elevate this classic dish. Imagine a spicy chorizo filling or a creamy spinach and ricotta blend. These twists breathe new life into traditional recipes.

Plant-based options are also making waves. Substituting meat with lentils or mushrooms caters to vegans and vegetarians without sacrificing flavor. A sprinkle of nutritional yeast can add that cheesy taste everyone loves.

For the sauce, consider alternatives like pesto or butternut squash puree instead of the standard marinara. Pairing these modern flavors with Mannacote offers a unique dining experience.

Don’t forget about presentation! Garnish with fresh herbs or microgreens for visual appeal, taking your dish from homey comfort food to gourmet cuisine in an instant. This approach allows Mannacote to evolve while still honoring its roots, appealing to both tradition-loving diners and adventurous eaters alike.

Conclusion

Mannacote is more than just a dish; it’s a celebration of flavors and heritage. This Italian-American classic brings together the best of both worlds, merging rich traditions with comforting home cooking. Whether you choose to stick to its traditional roots or explore creative twists, Mannacote offers endless possibilities for your dining experience.

Making it at home can be rewarding, allowing you to customize ingredients according to your taste. Pairing it with the right wine enhances its delightful flavors perfectly. And don’t let leftovers go to waste—reheating them thoughtfully can bring back that initial excitement.

So why not gather some friends or family around the table? Share stories while savoring this delectable meal that has captured hearts across generations. Embrace all that Mannacote has to offer and make it a part of your culinary journey today!

Why the Right Crate Makes All the Difference in Dog Training Success

Published

on

Training a dog isn’t just about commands and treats — it’s about setting the right environment. One of the most overlooked, yet impactful tools in any dog training journey is the crate. Whether you’re working with a rambunctious puppy, a newly adopted rescue, or a stubborn adolescent, having a consistent, calming, and secure space can change everything. That’s why Impact Crates offer the ideal training setup for modern dog owners who want structure without stress.

Crates have evolved far beyond basic containment. Today’s high-quality crates are designed with behavioral psychology, dog safety, and everyday functionality in mind. And when integrated properly into a training routine, a crate doesn’t restrict — it empowers.

Let’s explore how and why the right crate can turn chaos into confidence during training.

Crates as a Foundation, Not a Shortcut

One common misconception among new dog owners is that a crate is simply a place to “put the dog” when things get tough. But that kind of thinking can actually undermine training progress. A well-used crate isn’t a punishment — it’s a place of consistency, boundaries, and security.

Dogs are den animals by nature. When introduced gradually and positively, crates provide a private zone that promotes calm behavior. Trainers often use crates during:

  • Potty training to teach control and routine
  • Impulse control exercises like “settle” or “stay”
  • Time-outs not as punishment, but as a break from overstimulation
  • Travel or public outings to reinforce structured behavior

When these moments are supported by a crate that feels safe and comfortable, dogs learn faster and trust more deeply.

Design Matters: Why Not All Crates Are Equal

The structure and build of the crate itself have a huge influence on how well it functions in training. Wobbly, noisy, or hard-to-clean crates can disrupt progress, especially for dogs who are easily startled or anxious.

That’s why serious trainers and behaviorists gravitate toward durable, thoughtfully engineered models — ones that support the training environment rather than work against it.

Crates like those from Impact Dog Crates are designed specifically for this purpose. They provide stability, airflow, and security in a package that feels solid and grounded. Their build reduces the distractions that come from rattling wire panels or collapsible plastic. And for dogs with high reactivity or anxiety, this kind of containment can create a true sense of calm.

Structure Builds Confidence

One of the biggest benefits of crate training is how it fosters independence and emotional regulation. When dogs know they have a consistent place to go, they start developing the ability to self-soothe. This is especially helpful in multi-dog households, homes with kids, or busy environments where dogs can feel overstimulated.

Crates become a base — a home within a home — where the dog can rest, decompress, and reset. For nervous dogs or those who are learning boundaries for the first time, this structure builds confidence. They start to feel in control of their space and choices, which reduces behavioral issues like barking, chewing, or guarding.

How Crates Support Every Training Stage

Training doesn’t stop once your dog learns “sit” or “stay.” Behavior shaping is a lifelong process, and a crate can be a reliable tool through every stage:

Puppies:

Crates help manage energy, enforce potty routines, and protect them from getting into trouble when unsupervised.

Adolescents:

During the teenage phase, dogs test boundaries. Crates reinforce expectations while offering breaks during overwhelming moments.

Adults:

For dogs with reactivity, leash frustration, or separation issues, crate time offers rest and clarity between training sessions.

Seniors:

Older dogs benefit from a quiet, predictable space — especially when they begin to feel more sensitive to noise or change.

With the right setup, your dog’s crate evolves with them — not as a crutch, but as a companion to their emotional growth.

What Real Dog Owners Are Saying

People who’ve integrated crates into their training plans often report faster progress and fewer setbacks. Testimonials from experienced dog handlers reveal common themes:

  • “My dog settles much faster after a training session when she goes into her crate.”
  • “Using the crate between lessons keeps my reactive dog from getting overstimulated.”
  • “Once I made the crate a positive place, potty training clicked almost overnight.”

It’s not about locking your dog away — it’s about giving them a place to process, reset, and rest. Just like humans benefit from quiet time after learning something new, dogs need space to internalize behaviors.

Avoiding Common Mistakes

Even with the best intentions, crate training can go wrong if owners rush the process or create negative associations. To avoid setbacks:

  • Never use the crate as punishment.
  • Always reward calm behavior in and around the crate.
  • Introduce the crate gradually with short sessions, especially with puppies or rescues.
  • Keep the crate near family activity, so the dog doesn’t feel isolated.
  • Use training guides to help develop a routine that supports your specific goals.

Many owners have found helpful tips and structured routines from training-focused resources that emphasize crate integration as a core principle of dog development.
