Napa Valley Wineries That Offer Unusual Tasting Experiences - AFAR

"Tucked into Rutherford hills, this immersive wine, art and nature estate spreads across roughly 120 acres best explored by ATV, with cider orchards, outdoor art installations, and a historic stone building; a pink-and-green cow visible from the Silverado Trail hints at the playful, exploratory vibe. Guests can taste balsamic vinegar from tiny wood casks, sample an estate hard apple cider made in a champagne style, and enjoy wines including a lush Clarksburg chenin blanc, a tropical falanghina, and a violet-scented cabernet franc." - Maria C. Hunt

The wine tasting was so intimate. The owner was phenomenal and gave us a private tour of her vineyard! All our other wine tastings have a lot to live up to! Great job Terraces!

Our family started our wine trip off with The Terraces being the first winery we went to. This winery was absolutely amazing. The owner was so passionate and knowledgable about wine and Jason our guide was wonderful. We had the best experience at this intimate, family owned winery. This winery was voted everyone's favorite by our group of 8!

My wife and I booked a tour and tasting with The Terraces the first chance we could after landing in California from Florida. Having tasted their Chardonnay years ago, and not being able to find it again in the South Florida area, we were looking forward to reliving the delicious experience again. Upon arriving we were greeted by Jorge, who made our time at the winery a memorable experience. He was knowledge, relatable, and a true joy to talk with. Jorge showed us around the grounds, educated us on the history of the vineyard, and demonstrated their passion as a winery. During the tasting we were able to try our favorite Chardonnay again (and it did not disappoint!!). We also were able to try a variety of their other wines: Chenin Blanc, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a Rhyolite Red blend. Words cannot express how good these wines were. My wife and I drink a lot of wine from all over the world and I can say without exaggerating that the terraces selection of wine belongs in our favorite top 3%. Thank you Jorge for making out experience one we want to come back to for our next visit to Napa.

Dominic was a great guide on the ATV tour. Very informational and let us try some peaches right off the tree as well! As for the wines, my boyfriend and I liked them all. Best wines out of the other wineries we visited. This vineyard is secluded and not many people which we enjoyed since the others ones we visited were busy.

A small group looking for a one off wine tasting experience in the Napa valley were not disappointed with the Terrace. If you are looking for a personal, accomodating and family centric vibe do not skip this stunning vineyard and it's wonderful hosts.

We did the Private 4WD Vineyard Tour & Tasting with Dominique as our guide, and it was a 10/10 tasting experience. An incredibly unique way to actually get out into a vineyard and learn more about the Terraces' specific way of creating delicious wines (and balsamic vinegar!)

We did three wine tours the same day. The Terraces was by far the best! Sharon and Dominic were welcoming, down to earth and informative. The wines were delicious as was the balsamic vinegar.

From the moment we arrived at The Terraces, we knew we were in for a treat. The ambiance here is simply enchanting with sprawling vineyards as the backdrop and cozy, stylish seating areas that invite you to relax and soak in the scenery. The wine selection is superb. Each pour tells a story, from the crisp, refreshing whites to the bold, complex reds. The tasting experience is thoughtfully curated, and the quality of the wines outstanding. We particularly enjoy their Cab Franc and Chenin Blanc but all of their wines are superb. What truly sets The Terraces apart, though, is the staff. This vineyard is owned and operated by the Crull family. Knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about their craft, they make each visit exceptional. Staff are friendly, engaging, and provide insightful details about every wine and its origins. During our visit, they took us on a tour of their property and were attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and our questions always answered. In addition to the wine, the Crull's also produce a balsamic that is part of the tasting experience. Whether you're a wine aficionado or just looking for a memorable outing, The Terraces is a must-see. The perfect blend of fantastic wine, a stunning setting, and exceptional service guarantees a remarkable experience. We became wine members right away. 100% recommend.

Awesome small family owned winery. Wines are solid, service excellent. Grounds are awesome to tour. There's a secret product aging here that you need to visit to see. I won't spoil the surprise!! Contact Stephan for a great experience and find out something magical in the hills. Seriously Appointment only, but we called and they fit us in due to a most fortunate cancellation! You HAVE to try the secret.

It's a charming and historic winery with great wine! Owned by wonderful people. It's a must visit winery!

A great winery with wonderful people! We had a tour for 8 of us and it was very informative and fun for our group, who are all new to the wine scene! The staff was great, personable, and very informative. It is a small family owned winery and that allowed us to have a real personal interaction without all the commercialization that other places have now. The owners were there to interact with us, tell stories, and answer any questions we had! The balsamic tasting was awesome and very interesting to learn about! We would love to come back on a future trip! Great wine also and organically farmed!

My family went here for a Napa Trip and we had a really good time. It's $90 per person for a tasting which is quite high but if you enjoy the wine then you can have the tasting fee waived if you purchase 3 bottles. The service was good and the ambiance was really nice. You start the tour with a balsamic vinegar tasting, then you get driven up in an atv to see an old stone room, and finally at the end you taste the wine. One point of criticism i'd make is that they should change the timing of when guests try their wine. Instead they should welcome you with a glass upon arrival, then another glass at the stone room, and the last two-three at the final tasting. It would make for a more well rounded experience.

Amazing experience! We went for a tasting and the ATV tour. It was $90 per person which was waived if you sign up for the club or take home three bottles. Good variety of wines, not just Cabernets. We were able to meet the owners who came around and introduced themselves. This was by far our favorite tasting experience of the weekend, and felt very intimate and friendly. Learned so much and took home quite a few bottles of wine.

If you like unique tasting experience with a small family winery, Terraces has to be one of the top choices! But also for anyone visiting Napa. Winery is owned by husband and wife and tour/tasting is run by them and their assistant winemaker. Tour starts with a ride on a 4wd through their beautiful property and vineyards and it was so fun! I liked every single wine we tasted and taking home 3 bottles was not hard, we actually ended up buying more than 3. More wineries based on views, price, varietals at finevining.com IG @fine.vining Cute for pictures: 4/5 Average price: $30-85 Main varietals: Refreshing whites (Chenin, Dry Riesling) and reds (Tempranillo, Cab, Cab Franc) Tasting fee: No fee to taste but tour requires you to take home 3 bottles of your choice

Dominic (host) was the bee's knees. What an incredible guy with incredible hair. Well worth the $90 tasting fee (just buy bottles to go and delete the fee, duh). Anyways, easy to get to the winery and beautiful countryside to take in while you're there. Highly highly highly recommend. If you're the owner and you're reading this, give Dominic a raise. He's gold.

Amazing winery! Beautiful grounds which they gave us a tour of. Dominic told us the history of this winery which was really interesting! They have 25 year old balsamic vinegar also which we were able to taste. Wines were all delicious! Nice hard apple cider which reminded me of a champagne. Don't miss this place if you can get a reservation!

Excellent experience. We had one day in Napa and were driving so we needed to limit ourselves to a few wineries. This was the last of four and definitely our fave. We joined the club and we are now members! Excited to enjoy these wines at our home in FLORIDA and hope to get back to Napa soon ! This is a must-do!

My review is going to be slightly bias as I've become friends with the owners of the winery. I met them at Burning Man in 2014. Yes, they're burners. This winery and the property that it's located on, are magical. The tasting room is more like a living room. It's comfortable and inviting. And you'll see Burning Man books on the coffee table, and lots of beautiful pieces of art throughout the room. This is not a typical walk up winery, taste and leave. This is an appointment only winery. So be sure to call ahead. And plan to enjoy the surrounding beauty and buy some wine. The Zin is to die for, and really the Cab... Can we talk about the Cab... OMG. The CAB! It's so good. I can't... I just can't. Timm and Sharon are the winery owners/makers. And let me tell you Timm has his hands in their making his wine. He's not some over the top wine owner that doesn't get his hands dirty. He loves to work on the property, and water the plants, and enjoy the beauty. I love how into the land he is. And it shows. I almost forgot to mention the seating area outside the tasting room. He's got a gorgeous deck/patio to sit and enjoy the sun and sip on some sweet wine. By far and hands down my happy place to be and one of the best wineries ever.

LOVED every thing about The Terraces! You had to have a reservation to visit and some major wine-o friends of ours set this one up for us. This was our last stop while in Napa and the best way to end our anniversary trip! We buzzed in at the gate and as we parked a man met us at the car. I wish I remembered his name because he was absolutely awesome! It was neat to pull up to just a few parking spots next to what looked like a large home. He greeted us by name, and took us inside. As we walked by a guy who seemed to be playing with all kinds of beakers they explained he was working on their cider that wouldn't be available for awhile. We went upstairs essentially into a large kitchen/ living room. The gentleman poured us water and explained that this was the owners original house and now is their tasting room. He poured us a glass of wine and lead us outside on the deck which had ample seating. The view over the vineyard was gorgeous. It was by far the most relaxed wine tasting experience I've ever had. We tried a few wines and he spoke well about each, the history of the vineyard and how they harvest some and sell a portion to other wineries. After a few tastings he took us on a quick ride around the vineyard, showed us where they were making balsamic vinegar (delicious) and how it wouldn't be ready for a little while longer. They also have a members house on property you can rent with 3 bedrooms for $600/night. We loved the wines and decided to join their wine club. We have since received 2 wine shipments and love to share with family and friends. Our friends swear by their zin which is good but I LOVE their Cabernet Sauvignon! This is a MUST visit when in Napa!! Enjoy!!

This was a seriously delightful tasting! I was looking for a new winery that I've never tried and stumbled across this gem. If you are looking for a small family winery with a boutique feel, The Terraces may be the place for you! There are positives and negatives to wineries like this -- the best thing is the intimate, homey vibe. You literally taste the wine while standing around the working kitchen of a house. Appointments are required and necessary for tastings, so call as far ahead as possible. You'll have to use the call button intercom at the gate when you arrive at the property. When we pulled up, hostess Monica met us in the driveway to escort us to the proper location for our tasting. It was like visiting a friend's home. Since this is a tiny little operation, we were able to see the employees hard at work (it's crush time after all). We were even able to taste some grapes straight out of their bins! Monica led us upstairs to the main house where there was a nice set-up of two glasses and several bottles of wine, along with price sheets, pens and paper for tasting notes, and a dump bucket (sadly lots of wineries don't provide those unless you ask, which may make some folks uncomfortable). I really appreciate when wineries provide these things because that shows me they are a place for real wine lovers. I normally carry my own notebook and pen but I had left it in the hotel room so the pen and paper definitely came in handy. We tasted with the owners and employees who wandered in and out during their busy workday. That was so much fun! We talked about Burning Man with Timm the winemaker, waxed poetic about food, and of course chewed the fat about wine. The wines here were very good, with the Zinfandel and Spotted Cow dessert wine being truly exceptional. I loved that the wines were lovingly crafted with care but their prices weren't in outer space. This is what wine drinking and wine making should be all about: good, tasty wines at reasonable prices. There's no $185 Cabernet here. Best of all, their reasonable $25 per person tasting fee is waived with a two bottle purchase. Even if you are on a budget, a two bottle per person purchase won't break the bank: most wines hovered in the $30 to $60 range. We left with a little over half a case because the wines were such an excellent value. The only (very minor) negatives I can think of are that if you are new to wine tasting and the Napa Valley in general, a small tasting experience like this may make you a bit uncomfortable. Remember that spitting or dumping is NOT a sign that you do not like the wine! If you feel weird about that, you need to get over it! We dumped almost everything in our glasses but purchased a lot of wine here. Nobody will take offense, they will see it as a sign that you are a serious taster. Also, you may feel intimidated when the winemaker is tasting his wine right next to you. This didn't bother us at all but I thought I should mention it for newbies. I highly recommend this winery and I will definitely be back for another visit in the future. Lovely hospitality and lovely wines.

We had a wonderful visit with Monica at The Terraces. A beautiful setting on the Silverado Trail. Great wines and very personal attention as our group of 3 was the only party on property at the time of our impromptu visit. The wine tasting on the back deck was filled with good conversation about the winery and the art of farming. Every wine we tasted was excellent. The wines were very pleasing and approachable from a price point. This winery produces only 3,500 cases per year. You won't find it on the shelves at home. Recommend this place if you can fit it in but make an appointment in advance.

My visit at Terraces was very enjoyable and I would recommend going here for a tasting and tour. You really need to include the tour because they show you some pretty neat stuff. There is the old ghost winery which was cool and the balsamic house where they are aging their balsamic vinegar. You get to taste a sample and it was delicious. They don't sell it yet as it's not fully aged, but I'm sure once they do start selling it will sell out quickly! The wine tasting was very enjoyable too. While we were tasting the owner Tim came over and sat down with us. It was great because he was covered in dirt from harvesting. He was talking with us and even brought us a barrel sample in his wine glass after tossing out whatever he was drinking before. The wines were very good and we all joined the wine club, although there is no pressure if you don't want to.

We had a great visit to this small family owned and operated winery for my husbands 50th birthday. We had such a great time with the owners, touring their amazing property and learning about the history. Not to mention their hobby of creating 25 year aged balsamic vinegar in the traditional Modena method. The wine tasting on the patio was fantastic and we are excited to get our wine shipments through their wine club.

What a cool little winery! They are tucked back off Silverado trail but from the road you may have recognized them by the pink polka dotted mail box (which got knocked down) and the polka dotted cow on their hill. This is a small winery made up of basically 4 people Tim and Sharon the husband and wife owners, Dominic the assistant wine maker and Monica... They are all super down to earth and approachable and friendly! The property is stunning and their wines are all so hands on and delicious. I had no idea what to expect as we had never had their wines and we left very happy! They do both reds and whites but it does depend on the yield from their vineyards. But do a tasting and pick up a few bottles!! Also their tasting room is super eclectic and we loved their art!! Really a nice spot with super nice people!!! Such a sweet find in Napa valley. They really care about the products they produce. Also if you get a chance get the short tour to see their labor of love...the balsamic vinegar. It's not released but oh my when it is..... I can't wait to buy it!!!

One of most stunning and genuine experiences in the Napa Valley. A truly authentic and sincere family with a clear dedication to their land, wines, and community. Ask about their amazing vinegar program as well the unique varieties they produce into incredible wines. This is a great break from the loud and more ostentatious tasting rooms in the valley and is approachable to expert and novice alike.

This place differentiates itself from others with the unique, private tour of the property. We loved learning about the history of the place, especially about the super old structure where they are aging the balsamic vinegar. Great wine, too! We couldn't help but become members. Thanks to Monica for our tour and tasting!

My friend recommended The Terraces while I was visiting visiting Napa. The tour around the winery is amazing, and Jorge was so informative and definitely passionate about these wines. The property is beautiful and unique. The wine was phenomenal and we grabbed a few bottles for home on the way out. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Napa. It's truly different from any other tasting I've had.

The Terraces is an amazing place to visit!!! I would highly recommend for anyone visiting Napa that wants a solid, laid back tour and/or tasting. Sharon took us on a quick tour in an ATV and then walked us thru tasting various wines. It was a personalized experience on a lovely outdoor deck to enjoy the amazing Napa weather.

This place not only has great wine ... The people that work there are just very warm, hospitable, and go way above and beyond the call of customer service! I payed them a visit today to pick up my release club bottles of wine and Ryan really took care of us. I've been a member of other high end wineries and sometimes even if you're a member of their club they still don't treat you exceptionally well. The Terraces on the other hand, whether you're a member or not, they treat you exceptionally well. I quit the other high end wineries and joined this one earlier this year because of their people, their wine, and their home grown balsamic vinegar! Enough said! If you find yourself in Rutherford, make this a stop! You will not be disappointed! Everyone i have introduced to this winery has been very impressed with the wine and people and needless to say, have joined their wine club.

Had an awesome tasting with Jorge yesterday. Really enjoyed learning about the process of wine making as well. Loved the casual atmosphere, like drinking wine with friends. Didn't go on the grounds tour this time because it's winter, but will definitely do it on our next spring or summer visit.

I can't believe I never reviewed this place ... I must've been drunk. Drunk on the natural beauty of the land. Okay, it was the wine. I was drunk on wine. Moving on ... This is a small batch kind of place. No big corporate blabbity-blah. Good people and time honored traditions. Honestly, I didn't want to leave. I wanted a job. I was ready to give everything up and move to Napa Valley. My father almost bought a winery when I was young. Instead, he bought a steakhouse. Moron! Just kidding, dad. I ate very well thanks to you. Seriously, though, this place made me want to live out the life that almost was. I had an amazing time on my tour, and even learned a thing or two. For starters, I had no idea how long it took to make a balsamic. Yes, they do that as well. It's a craft, people. A craft. Everything about this place is so lovely that you will hate your life. Consider this a warming. I'm closing my eyes and dreaming of it now. Hello, warm breeze. Hello, gentle sunshine. Hello, sweet nectar of the Gods.

Really laid back and enjoyable. Not touristy in any way whatsoever. Had a tasting from one of the owners. Family owned, quality wines. Took home a couple bottles of petite Syrah - really full-bodied, delicious wines. Happy I made it here in my trip to Napa.

A truly wonderful Napa experience. After a few days of sampling some of the bigger wineries in Napa, The Terraces was exactly what we needed. Monica was our guide - first driving us around in an ATV to see the grounds and sample the newly aging balsamic vinegar (totally unexpected). We then sat on the beautiful porch and tasted delicious wines. We had the chance to meet Tim, the owner and wine maker, who was personal and informative. Monica taught us a ton and obviously loves her job. We left the winery with 1/2 case and can not wait to drink it at home. A personalized, warm, inviting experience.... highly recommend.

Such a lovely experience! Jorge was a very gracious host and we loved all the art in the tasting room. So often whites in Napa are meh but we liked theirs a lot, and the reds were great. It is a small winery and it was a very intimate experience - only one other group there when we were there, even though it was a Saturday. You definitely cannot show up without a reservation. Seemed very chill for a place in Napa. They waive the tasting fee if you buy two bottles. I really enjoyed my time here - will be back!

Personally, I love boutique wineries- it feels more personal, as if you're visiting someones home... and most of the time you get a private tasting. If that's what you're looking for then The Terraces is your spot. Husband and Wife owned (and they're fantastic, Timm's chef skills are killer) this little gem is tucked away in the hills- I nearly miss the driveway every time. Gorgeous property and yummy hillside wines. I really love their whites and their Cab Franc. Monica was our guide for the day and took us on a fun, informative flight. You can tell she's passionate about what she does and she is super laid back, which made for a relaxing visit. I enjoyed it so much that I'm now a wine club member, and I'm told they do some pretty rad events/summer luncheons. I can't wait!

Out of everything we've experienced so far while visiting for a week in Napa, this was our absolute favorite. The tour was very interactive and our tour guide was so warm and welcoming. We got to see the full process of creating wine, from tasting a fresh grape off the vine to sipping the cab it was to be turned into. I will recommend this tour to everybody! Actually already planning our next visit

Almost six months ago now, my gal pals and I arranged a birthday kidnapping that involved visiting several napa wineries and a lot of giggling. In any case, I called ahead to the Terraces for a private tasting. They graciously gave me an appointment time and the gate code. Let me tell you, birthday gal was highly intrigued when I pulled up to an unmarked gate and entered the code. We got a private introduction to their current releases from the assistant winemaker. The standouts (for me) were their '05 Zin and an '06 Chardonnay. Normally, I'm not a fan of California Chards, but the Terrace's don't over-oak it and it stayed nice and crisp. Additionally, we hopped in the 4WD and drove a whopping 100 feet to a little outbuilding where they're making balsamic vinegar. Tasting out of the traditional-style barrels... makes you pucker a bit, but it's delicious. Officially the private tasting is $10 per person, but it's waived with purchase of wine. At that time, the bottles ranged from $28 to $48.

This is officially my favorite winery in Napa Valley! I generally stick to the Sonoma side of wine country, bc I like to stay away from the bustling tourism and overly decorous feeling of most Napa wineries. But, I happened upon this winery in an online forum about Zinfandels, and it's given me a reason to start visiting Napa again! Not only is the wine (particularly the Zinfandel and Chenin Blanc), some of the most delicious and well-priced that I've had in Napa Valley, but the vibe of this place is just outstanding. On my 2nd visit, I found out that the owners (Timm and Sharon - who were awesome enough to personally greet and chat with my friend and me) are a couple who has been going to Burning Man for the past 12 years. This was a revelation as to why their tasting room and vineyard have such an artfully understated, relaxed, and inviting atmosphere. Ryan, their Kiwi winemaker, was the clincher to an overall fantastic visit, and we had great conversation throughout a tour of the vineyard and tasting of their 18-year "barrel-aging" balsamic vinegar, from the comfort of a golf cart. Make sure you call ahead for an appointment and bring some fresh tastebuds! P.S. Their wines make great dinner party presents

So I have not reviewed this place because I selfishly wanted to keep it to myself. I have visited several times now and I love the vibe of this place. So laid back and easy going - all the while with great wines. I am a ribbon winning competition BBQ cook in Kansas City, and Terraces zin is the only wine I will serve with my food when I am back in KC - for whatever that is worth. As others has mentioned, Nate is great host. I recommend taking an hour out of your napa visit and kicking back, drinking some great wine and cruising around their property in the golf cart.

Ryan and Monica were very friendly and made me feel at home. The wine was good, the tasting room had good decor. Definitely recommend for boutique wine enthusiasts.

Imagine telling your designated driver, "For $45 you get a glass of water and a peek at some vinegar." That is exactly what Monica offered us when I tried to book a group of 9 + 2 DD's. She also declined to waive the tasting fee for bottles purchased, as advertised on their website, because we were a "large" group. I'm pretty sure that's not legal. If you don't do large groups, just say so. Skip The Terraces, they don't deserve your business, "large" group or small. There are over 400 beautiful and friendly wineries in the Napa Valley and more in Sonoma,

I cannot speak highly enough of the Terraces. My husband and I travel from the east coast to Napa with friends quite frequently and the Terraces is hands down one of our fav Napa places, so much so, it's the only one we joined. Dominic, Jorge, Tim and Sharon are amazing, the balsam is such a special added touch, and you cannot beat the wines! The wines are all delicious and smooth and everyone we have shared them with back home has loved them. The atmosphere is such a great experience that differs from the rest of Napa. It's laid back, welcoming, inviting, and if I could sit on Tim and Sharon's deck all day and drink wine and chat with them and the staff I would. I almost hate to rate this place so highly because it's such a special gem I want it to stay our hidden secret. Do yourself a favor, go here, do the tour, you won't regret it. Cheers!

The Terraces is a wonderful winery. I have been here a handful of times and whenever I'm in the area I try to make an appointment and stop by. If you're a member you can also ask for a tour of the winery and you get to taste their balsamic vinegar. Their wines are delicious and reasonably priced. My favorite Is the rhyolite.

What a spectacular place. I visited on Friday March 2 and had a great time. The property is beautiful and I had a very nice tour and tasting with Sharon. I will definitely be back. I look forward to my case of Zinfandel I ordered showing up at home.

Quite simply the best Zin south of St. Helena. This little hidden gem is very easy to miss while whizzing past on Silverado Trail. But don't overlook this one. You won't be disappointed. Nate took us on a tour of the vineyard in his tractor and then we went and tasted some Balsamic Vinegar (Which is not for sale) and although Nate said it wasn't finished aging, it was the best I've ever had.

Beautiful setting among the trees. Hosts were warm and welcoming. The wine was good and I went home with several bottles.

A legacy vineyard property operated by Timm and Sharon Krull - this is an absolute gem "off the beaten trail" in Rutherford AVA. Monica Jones (Ops Dir.) and Dominic Canizzaro (Ass't Winemaker) often host the tasting - and both provide a great experience. Sometimes - when there's some time and flexibility in their day - you go for a ride in the ATV for a tour of the property - outstanding views provided at No Charge! BTW? The wines are fabulous. ;-D

One of the high points of our Napa/Sonoma trip. Our visit to The Terraces was both informative and personal, completely lacking the corporate vibe that you get at many of the larger vineyards. We tasted through the current releases with Monica, the Hospitality Director and Dominic, the Assistant Winemaker and learned a great deal about their farming and vinicultural techniques, as well as their winemaking philosophy. The wines are excellent, well balanced with a fresh fruit profile and restrained ABV levels. The quality to price ratio is outstanding, especially for Napa Valley. This is a perfect sized winery that is doing everything right. The Terraces is definately worth a place on your itinerary. Make sure you make an appointment.

Our clear favourite winery on our trip to Napa. Wine is amazing and very well priced. You try a good range from white to red to desert wine. Also try more unusual wines then your regular cab sav, sav blanc etc! The tour itself is fantastic. Ryan is very personable, relaxed and really knowledgeable. I would highly recommend you make a stop here! Also you get to taste the balsamics they make on site which are delicious!!

Do the tour of the estate - worth the money. It is gorgeous and you get a very unique experience. The owner also makes balsamic vinegars and you get to learn about that production and taste them. The wine is great and you get a very personal experience. This was our favorite winery of our trip so far; although the view at Cade is unbeatable and learning all about oak barrels at Del Dotto was very interesting. This overall experience tops the list hands down though!
