tasting room kid friendly with a play area inside. We have Legos and blocks to
play with, and fruit drinks and water for those who don’t drink wine. Kids can

Barbara and Paul run the
tasting room. Paul particularly tries to be around on Saturday afternoons to
answer the technical and esoteric wine questions you may have. With over 20

Please come by and visit us
anytime. We always have lots of fun in our tasting room!
