"This is, hands down, the place to go if you’re seeking a bit of bubbly in the valley. Master winemaker Jon C. McPherson, winemaker Javier Flores, and assistant winemaker Emily Bloom head up wine production at South Coast Winery and here at Carter, adhering to the methode champenoise, the time-honored and labor-intensive tradition that results in bottle-fermented sparkling wine. In addition to sparkling, the winery’s 112 acres also produce other wines like its Penrose, a red blend that includes several Portuguese varieties. The property features a collection of bungalows and suites and a pool and grill that are accessible to guests." - Candice Woo
