Fall

Fall is the time for you to visit galleries and meet the artists, to tour wineries and find new favorites. It's the time to stop at a farm market and enjoy an apple as you ponder the colors splashed on the hillsides. It's the time to walk the beach to Shalda Creek, to see colors reflected on crystal clear water and consider just how beautiful it is. It's the time to relax with a couples' massage at Spa Amira and a Single Malt Scotch before dinner. At Nonna's, it will be time to smell the first wood smoke of the fall and savor the fresh, local food picked and prepared to celebrate the harvest.
