Visit Rehoboth in Delaware

Travel with Bennett-Watt and discover the town of Rehoboth in Delaware.

Male: Delaware beaches like Rehoboth is state’s largest resort that attracts thousands from nearby Washington DC, Philadelphia, New Jersey and Northern Delaware. Quite an evolution from the area’s beginning since the method of summer camp in the late 1700’s. A short distance north of the community of—as they beat the historic little beach camp until that is very service—between Lewis and New Jersey. With an eye to tourism and reservations, the community has become historic attraction. There is the Cannonball House, the way to Cannonball. The Ryves Holt House, Circuit 1665 was the oldest building in Delaware that stay along its original foundation. A couple of blocks away and historic complex with a half dozen or so restored houses dating back 1600’s. There are two historic churches which have been rebuilt a couple of times, but with congregations gained back the late 17th century. On the outskirts of Lewis, a vineyard vines in the Nassau Valley Winery. Peggy: I’m Peggy Raley and you’re at Nassau Valley Vineyards. We are Delaware’s first and only winery. I had to change the—for wineries which is why I am the first and only. And here you are in a wonderful Sunday morning to carouse Delaware’s first and only winery. Male: They have a self guided tour that takes you through the 8000 year history of wine in winemaking—a variety of containers from oak to steel. Like the state, Nassau Valley maybe small but Peggy indeed learned we’re producing some very fine wines that we’re doing well in the international competition. Peggy: The difference between east coast and west coast wines is when the big quake comes and California falls into the sea and the bottom becomes water for property. I’ll be holding the keys in the kingdom. One of the main difference is about any wine region is what makes that site specific. There’s a wonderful expression of a wine historian that I know very well came up with and that is that wine is liquid geography. It is. It’s entirely indicated of your soils, your site, your area. So, it doesn’t matter what part of the world you’re in. It’s not even really west coast, east coast, it’s anywhere. Be at France, be at Spain, be at Italy, Portugal, whether you do it real in the South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, it’s what the French called—and that is your soil, the airflow, the site, everything specific about your tiny little piece of the universe. I’ve go in tastings in vineyards in France where for example, two vineyards sit side-by-side literally, you can put one foot in this vineyard and one foot on this side of the line and have it in the other vineyard. And if you taste the wines from both vineyards, they’re entirely different.
