Rosmerta Winery

Rosmerta Winery
Image
Rosemerta Winery has been a household name within Rharne for over forty arcs.The Winery produces a variety of popular local wines while specializing in the production of Starlight Wine. Set on nearly fifty acres of land in the Stormlands, about a half break's ride from Rharne, the property is largely used to house the impressive vineyard and barn along with a luxury lodge and separately housed indoor pool and spa for guests.

The vineyard takes up nearly forty acres and is filled with rows upon rows of carefully manicured grape vines. Dusk grapes are especially prevalent in the vineyard as the winery specializes in the production of the iridescent deep blue Starlight Wine, which is a specialty drink of Rharne's. There is a well-tended brick path that wraps around the vineyard with simple dirt paths between the rows of plants. The brick path is often used by guests for quiet walks in the morning or evening. There is a large wooden barn near the lodge where harvested grapes are stored before being crushed so their liquid can be placed in oaken barrels to age.

The Rosmerta Lodge hosts six private suites that can be rented nightly by wealthy visitors who wish to to indulge in a little rest and relaxation. At minimum, the suites contain a spacious bedroom, complimented with a canopy bed and accompanying furniture, along with a den, and bathroom. Rooms vary in price depending on their size and amenities.

The on-site spa rests in a separate but similarly styled wooden structure to the west of the lodge. The spa contains a large communal swimming pool along with small private rooms that are used to host massage sessions.

Wine tastings are scheduled every trial within the Lodge. These events take place at the public bar residing within the lobby of the building. Visitors may order drinks and attend the evening's wine tasting even if they are not residing at the lodge for the night. A handful of elegant tables are arrayed around the bar where discerning customers often come to unwind over a glass of Rosmerta-made wine. There is always a roaring fireplace along with a musician or two frequenting the establishment to keep drinkers entertained and at ease. Some food is available at the bar, though the fare is kept simple; artisanal meats, cheeses and fruits are readily available for a modest price.

Strelza Rosmerta

Image
Race: Human

DoB: 26th of Cylus, 696

Title: Bartender, Vintner

Skills: Vinting: 65, Socialization: 50, Seduction: 35, Etiquette: 30

Strelza is the youngest daughter of the Rosmerta family and serves most nights as a bartender in the lobby of her family’s lodge. She entertains guests and serves wines made locally at the Winery. In the mornings she can be seen around the property helping with the production of wine and directing workers as needed. She is a cheerful and flirty individual, at times using her seductive prowess on the male patrons in order to pry as many nels out of them as she can manage before the night is over.

Strelza is a true beauty, with deep red locks, a curvaceous figure and bright green eyes lined in dark lashes. She chooses to garb herself in revealing dresses at night when tending the bar but wears more comfortable clothes during the earlier breaks of the trial when she helps tend to the vineyard.

Merdia Rosmerta

Image
Race: Human

DoB: 20th of Vhalar, 692

Title: Hostess, Masseuse

Skills: Business Management: 65, Vinting: 55, Etiquette: 45, Strength: 30

Merdia is the eldest of the Rosmerta sisters and serves as the host for the Lodge along with taking a position as a masseuse at the nearby spa. The young woman, while comely, is nothing compared to her dazzlingly beautiful sister. Merdia is somewhat short, with wavy brunette locks and soft brown eyes. There is a quiet intelligence to her, a look in her eyes that suggests that she always has something on her mind.

Merdia is far more stoic and responsible than her overly cheerful sister. After the death of their parents some arcs before, Merdia took over the business and began managing the affairs of the Winery herself. While well meaning she can sometimes come off as a little cold, especially around her lackadaisical sister.

Callen has been with the Rosmerta Winery for nearly forty arcs. He is in charge of managing the vineyard staff and the production of the wine itself. Since the death of Strelza and Merdia's parents some arcs ago, he took the lead in ensuring that the high standards of the winery are adhered to.
