Oovvda Winery is located just 10 minutes off of the major intersection of I-44 and Hwy 65 in Springfield. We went to capture this winery for a commercial. The owners, Fran and Brian are very friendly, informative and helpful. Plus they really do like kids as we took our boys and they got to play with the neighbor's horses and mulch pile while Ben videotaped! This would be a spectacular place to get your wine for your rehearsal dinner and reception. They also have wine tasting which would be fun for a bachelorette party or luncheon! Our favorites ended up being the cherry wine and the sweet blackberry. Yum, yum! They are considering hosting weddings at their location which would be awesome in the spring or fall. They really have put extensive work into their landscaping. It would be romantic to set out a tent with billowing curtains, some white chairs, tables, candlelight, wine and cheese surrounded by the country and a winery!Our next st
op was the Potter's Mansion which is located in Fair Grove just north of Springfield. This is a ministry dedicated to helping women and children. It is located in a beautiful historic home in a country location. It was so peaceful there. Sue the owner has it beautifully decorated and really wants people to come, pray and dream. This gorgeous mansion is open for weddings with a staircase that leads right out to the front porch with the huge pillar columns reminiscent of days gone by. This is a donation only building so we do encourage families and churches to pray about giving to the Potter's Mansion and the restoration of the people who visit. It is open to the public, anyone who needs to just get away, weddings, reunions, etc.Commercials for both of these locations will be coming soon so stay tuned! You don't want to miss these amazing places with amazing owners!
