Sparkling Wines & Great Photo Gallery
This is a fun winery where they pour great sparkling wines both inside their glass walled tasting room and outside on their expansive patio. It is a sit down tasting and they have a talent for finding great, friendly staff. The location, tucked against the eastern side of the valley on the Silverado Trail, gives the winery great views and a central location. They pour unusual, fun sparkling wines, very different from the classical approach.
They have a great gift shop, including chocolate corks, and a fantastic photography museum, with rotating exhibits and they offer free tours. Even though most of their vineyards are to the south in Carneros, the founding winemaker chose this site for its beauty and reminded everyone that he had trucks to move the grapes. AWG Rating 95
