Wineries Near the Inn 6 Apr 2013, 12:19 pm
Crane Family Vineyards – Just about 5 minutes from the inn has a great approach to introducing guests to the wine…by sitting out on the porch overlooking the vineyards…rolling hills…and I think it’s one of the smallest wineries in the valley too. http://www.cranefamilyvineyards.com
Excellent wines: http://www.cranefamilyvineyards.com/our-wines/cabernet-sauvignon
Let our concierge book the tasting and they will wave the fee!
Truchard produces some of the valley’s best wines such as their intense Pinot Noir (2010)…Wonderful winery and people too. Check out their wine list:http://www.truchardvineyards.com/scripts/wineList.cfm
