The tasting experience was very informative. And a little formal. The host takes you into their tasting room and closes the doors for total immersion. The tasting is really all about the wine and educating visitors of the history of the label. Great stop for very classy wine! Not so much for relaxing and lounging.

Very much family owned place with very nice people. Wines were pretty delicious. Stopped by on a rainy weekend, it was fairly easy to find, you just have to make a LEFT and it's right off the freeway, no stop signs though so take your time to make sure the coast is clear before you turn!
