 | The cruisers met at Lowe's in Mansfield with a 10 am planned departure. |  |
 |  |  |  |
| |  | |
 | We waited a bit longer than planned for one missing couple - finally departing at 10:10 am |  |  |
| | | | |
Our 1st Stop - Sunset Winery - Burleson, TX |
 |  | We arrived at the winery where owners Bruce & Birgit Anderson had lunch and a great visit planned for us. |  |
| |  |  | |
 | Most of the cruise group at Sunset prior to lunch - the group photo taken by Bill Farley. Jack & Karla Gandy hadn't joined us yet |  |
| |  | |
 | Bruce provided the history of Sunset Winery, the story of their vineyards and the facility. |  |  |
| |  | |
 |  | Lunch was catered by Sunset for us to enjoy in the Barrel Room which had been nicely prepared. |  |
| | | |
 | We enjoyed tasting five of their wines, along with a gourmet croissant sandwich, vegetable tray, potato salad and a piece of cheesecake; last but not least, one glass of wine (your choice) was included. |  |
| | | | |
 |  | After lunch, Birgit took half the group for a tour of their wine making processes |  |
| | | | |
| | Here, Mary demonstrated the labeling process |  | |
| | | | |
 |  | Bruce took the rest of us after they had time to get about half-way thru the tour |  |
| | | | |
 |  |  |  |
| | | | |
 |  | The tour was great, lots of detail, some humor and of course all questions were answered |  |
| | | |
 | Bruce demonstrating the bottle labeling |  |  |
| | | | |
 | Bruce then demonstrated the final process of placing the cap over the cork |  |
| |  | |
 | After you finished the tour, you were routed to the wine tasting bar to pay for your lunch and any desired purchases |  |
| | | | |
 |  | Bruce visted with us outside as we waited on everyone to finish - he then took some pictures of each Vette & owner before our departure |  |
