My search couldn’t find the winery, but this is stop #3 of the wine tour trifecta. I’m saving the best for last in my opinion when it comes to their outdoor patio, tasting room, wine and food. They also make their own beer. Breath taking views!

This is a gem tucked away in the mountains. I would regard this as a destination winery in that there is nothing else around them besides farms. They have a fantastic Viognier and their Cabernet Franc (Grinning Fox) was a pleasant surprise.
They will be changing their name to Mountain & Vine.
