Run Done – Wine Time

September 5th, 2010 by lobenhaus

Vine Run 2010

Run for Wine 2010

Vine Run 2010

Wow, what a fine group of athletes!  Half- Marathon runners.  All sizes, ages, level of  fitness… all up at the crack of dawn to enjoy the Oregon wine countryside.  We stood by the great fir trees by our driveway to cheer them on… they smiled back & said thanks for coming out to support THEM… can you believe?  Our own B & B hosted runners.. at 0515  we served coffee, juices, bananas, cold cereals, baked healthful oatmeal (with nuts, chopped apples & craisins), blueberry muffins and morning glory muffins… bowl of fresh cherries… mmmm..

Now on to the celebration with liquid fruit of the vine..  wine tasting festivities in Carlton, “Who’s on Third” in downtown McMinnville, and continuing with most wineries through the long holiday weekend.

Hopefully this inaugural event will continue annually.

Flamingo Invasion in OR Wine Country

August 12th, 2010 by lobenhaus

Birds of a feather.....

Nummy bugs

The Lobenhaus Bed & Breakfast gardens have been ”flocked” !!  Magically, dozens of pink flamingos appeared among the flowers, by the waterfall…. all over the lawn.  What a novel idea.  Students from a local group is raising money to fund their trip next spring.  For a small or (generous) donation they are  happy to move the birds on to your friend’s yard to be “flocked”.  Our B & B guests got a big kick out of the lawn decor!  Several folks borrowed the idea to use in their own fund-raising projects.

March 7th, 2010 by lobenhaus

The Lobenhaus had a very special visitor the other day – a handsome American Bald Eagle!  Wish I could share a photo… but he gave me the eagle eye & soared away.  Mr. Eagle was flying from tree to tree watching the rainbow trout in our pond.  Absolutely beautiful in flight!  Here is a partial list of winged friends you may sight (seasonal & transient)) around our grounds of natural habitat woods, creek & vineyards: Downy woodpeckers, Steller & scrub Jays, White crowned sparrows, American Robins, Black-capped Chickadees, Rufous Towhees, House Wrens, Viotent-green & Barn Swallows, Northern (Bullocks’s) Orioles,  Belted Kingfishers, Killdeer,  Common flicker, Red-winged Blackbirds, Anna’s & Rufous Hummingbirds, Cedar Waxwings, American Goldfinch, Mourning Doves,Western Bluebirds, Evening Grosbeaks… by the water: Great Blue Heron, Osprey, Turkey Vultures, American Kestrel, Mallards, Buffle Heads & Wood Ducks.. at night, various owls may serenade… they keep out of sight & are not identified.  We welcome your visit, a day or two, or just an afternoon - bring binoculars, picnic &  Oregon Pinot Noir!

Wine Country Shippers offers a free courier service to our B & B guests. They provide totes to fill with your wine purchases from one or several wineries.  When you return to our inn, we will call to schedule a pick-up.  Only the standard shipping costs will apply.  A great option since liquids cannot be carried on flights.  Also many wineries will only ship wine purchased at their own winery.  We are very pleased to offer this complimentary service.
