Vineyard Tours Starting Soon

No Gravatar

Most of you know wines from what you buy at the store, read in reviews, hear from friends and enjoy at dinner parties.  For those who venture to the regions where it’s actually made, their learning curve goes up exponentially.  They get the stories first hand (sometimes, subjective); but even then, that’s a good thing. What makes our wine different than someone else’s may seem better to some, not to others.  That’s the beauty of enjoying wine. If it were that easy, it wouldn’t be fun.

Well, we’re taking your learning curve a bit farther if you visit us in Calistoga.  Starting soon, on Mondays and Wednesday mornings at 10:30am, we’re offering vineyard tours.  Our little 8 passenger electric cart will whisk you around (in an environmentally-friendly way) our 100 acres of vineyards, giving you a fun and educational, Disney-like drive through our Estate vineyards.  You’ll get an up-close and personal experience learning how our wines begin.   Should start up next week; but check our website for details soon!
