Truchard Vineyard is a smaller winery compared to others but it’s certainly not all about size here. During a tasting and visit, the staff are wonderfully welcoming and accommodating. Our top tip? Pack a picnic to enjoy at this winery. And don’t forget to stroll through the lovely rose garden!

This family-owned and operated winery offers the perfect wine country experience. The space is modern and rustic, while the grounds are beautiful and beckoning. As you embark on the wonderful wine tasting offered at the Spelletich Family Wine Company, it’s made incredibly obvious by the hosts and rest of the staff that they truly love and respect their craft.

5. Del Dotto Historic Caves

At Del Dotto Historic Caves there’s the vineyard, winery and, yes, caves. The 19th-century underground caves are where the winery ages all their wines. Better yet, the caves are open to visitors!
