With all of the intensity and stress behind this that you deal with, how do you key down at the end of the day and just relax? Or do you? Dominique Love: You can stay on top of the work, but it's also then you have to stay on top of your family. We're both moms. I think that really changes the dynamic. We can work, and we could go all night long, but we have someone else who depends on us. For us, it has added another dimension to it. Elizabeth Feichter: Kids don't understand. They can't. You can't shirk that responsibility. Dominique Love: They don't care that you have something to do. It's story time, it's play time, it is mommy time. Elizabeth Feichter: Then I'll work until 2:00am, but I'm going to sit and read with you. Dominique Love: How do you ramp down at the end? I mean, well... As a team, we go do something the very last night. We could tell you that we have to clean. We go dancing really hard, really bad. Let it all out. Elizabeth Feichter: It's funny because Dominique, and I have traveled together for so many years. That's kind of always been our release. It's like, "We'll go dancing." Just dance hard.. Dance like nobody's watching ... Just enjoy it. You have to take a minute and appreciate it. We're working hard, but that's the moment where you can say, "We did it" and to be able to wind down. Dominique Love: I think now, we're trying to do a little bit more vacation. We took a vacation together this past year. We took our sons, and we went over to London with them. It was great to be able to demonstrate to them that because we work like we do, we have this relationship with a company in London, which enables us to travel. I think it's really important for our boys to see that side of it as well that... I like that my son sees that I'm working really hard. I like that he says, "You're a hard worker." I hope that he finds that inspirational. I like that he also sees that we laugh and we have fun and that we can walk away... If you really like what you do, you're willing to give it your all. But you do need a reprieve every once in awhile.

The vineyard is made up of 60, 20-year-old Sun Grown grapevines, each spanning 12-feet, from Jaemor Farms in Alto, GA. The space will also feature a wild flower meadow, two bocce courts, and Chinese Elm, Black Gum, Silver Date Palm and Green Japanese Maple trees. The Vineyard will be the “it” destination for several weekend events during the Festival.
