CapOnBOBS Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) The separate elements of Admiral (Retired) Girard Beauchamp's ambitious land development project in Lavalette are falling into place. The large artisan structure houses a restaurant, dining terrace, and a second floor wine-bar all adjoining the picturesque vineyards recently put into cultivation. The kitchen is always a crowded bustle as head chef (red hat) Jean Bourdain makes sure each dish is up to the high standards expected by owner, Beauchamp, and overseer, Mr. Marat. Pizza is the top item on the menu, as it obviously pairs well with wine... according to the young crowd dominating the patrons. But the highlight really is the al-fresco dining terrace where patrons can enjoy their drinks and food looking over the entire complex of the Vineyard of Light Winery The terrace is always packed as the serving girls shuttle back and forth across the lane. Though, upstairs may be the hidden gem. An arguably better view, a little more private, a little more quiet. Those who "know" are upstairs. As you can see, some of our brave Soldiers following the oldest traditions of brave Soldiers throughout history. Construction of the winery is now complete, production is ramping up and the crew is working diligently to bring the Eastern tract into cultivation in anticipation of increased demand. (More to follow: From Left to Right in upper photo... Artisan "Dining Terrace," Factory "Winery, and fermenting cellar," Commercial "Warehouse") In the top right, you can see the farm crew has been at work clearing the brush and trees away to expand the actual vineyard beyond the original plantation.) The West and East Vineyards produce the grapes, grapes are turned into wine at the winery, some bottles go to the restaurant, while the rest is distributed from the warehouse or sent to the wharf for shipping around the Brick Seas. 2 x Large Plantations, Large Factory, Large Artisan, and 2 x Large Commercial licenses.

KotZ Posted December 26, 2020 Fantastic work! I'm glad Oleon is having more people get involved in the alcohol trade. I love some good inter-faction competition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deraven Posted December 26, 2020 This is a wonderful bustling scene! I like the way you've done the roads, and nice action going on in the kitchen and bar areas. Those Fabuland tables work really well here in this setting. How did you "fill" the wine glasses? Was that just smashing a 1x1 into them in software, or is there a trick that'd work IRL with those? Either way, it does look good here and adds to the complete feel of the scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
