Vineyards Above it All

Linda, Keith and Kelsey visited a winery that has been in this valley for a very long time. High above Oakville and Rutherford, a view clear out to San Francisco is seen from the vineyards of this winery - a real gem and great perk!
Starting the tour, we all hopped into the Suburban, and started driving through the roads through the vineyards. A naturally rocky terrain, this 'road' is very bumpy and fun in the Suburban. Amber, our tour guide, narrated the tour with history about the winery and vineyards and kept us intrigued. She climbed a steep hill and showed us what the Suburban was made of - a true 4-wheeling experience. It was a blast!
We hopped out of the car to enjoy the view of the City, and to appreciate how wonderful the weather was at 1400 feet.

Heading out into more of the 1200 acre property, we were amazed by Amber's ability to maneuver through the tight vineyard roads! We stopped periodically to enjoy the Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec grapes off the vine - all almost ready for harvest.

As we ended our tour, we stopped at the property's Pavilion - a great stone patio in the middle of the vineyards, with sweeping views of the valley below.
Enjoying lunch, we talked about the area, the wildlife at 1500 feet, and fun facts about the vineyards.
Amber drove us back to our cars after lunch, and we realized what a gem this vineyard is - we all can not wait to send clients here to experience a completely different and unique place in Napa.
