Travel Tuesday-Winkler Bakery in Old Salem NC

-
This is a Travel Tuesday Blast From the Past.  Several years ago and friend of mine and I spent a couple of days in Old Salem, and we had a wonderful time.  I checked to make sure they were still open because so much has closed due to Covid, and they are open. Happy day!  They have limited hours, so check their website if you decide to go.

WINKLER BAKERY

521 SOUTH MAIN STREET

Constructed 1800, restored 1968

One place Gale and I knew we had to visit was the bakery in Old Salem.  I have enjoyed the Moravian cookies over the years, but everyone has told me I had to try the sugar cake.
Look at all the temptations...Yummy:-)


A bit of history...






The sugar cake was terrific.  We took it back to our room and enjoyed the yummy sweetness in front of the beautiful fireplace in our room.  We also shared a bottle of local wine.  What a lovely day:-)
Happy Travels, Everyone!

This blast from the past was written back in 2016.  Wow, where does the time go?  I checked to make sure it is still open, and it is. Happy day! Linville Falls Winery After our somewhat strenuous hike down to the lower falls of Linville Gorge, Erica and I decided to reward ourselves with a visit to a local Winery,  Linville Falls Winery  All the way up the Gorge Trail on this somewhat warm fall day, we kept encouraging ourselves with the promise of wine and relaxation.  And it was just as we imagined...wonderful:-) Here is a description from their website.
