Rob Friedman had vision when he reopened the Beaumont Inn - and people are showing up to take part in wonderful food on the outdoor patio, in the dining area, bar area and now the newly renovated wine cellar. The setting is so beautiful we decided to bring some of the outside "in" with a view from the gardens looking back to the inn. The opposite wall showcases the talents of Cindy Trudgen with the look being as if you were in an actual wine cellar with barrels of wine. Many people are booking special occasion - from Anniversary dinners, showers and weddings. Thanks Rob!
