Special Places & Exclusive Gardens
You can wine, dine and celebration in any one of our exclusive areas: the Winery Garden & Facade, the Courtyard Garden, the Palm Garden, the Winery Terrace, the Great Barn & Picnic Lawn, and the Dance Hall! Oh, and don’t forget the vineyard and lavender field!
Winery Garden & Facade
The winery façade is a great backdrop for our many concerts and the occasional happy hour…or for your special photoshoot!
The Courtyard Garden
The Courtyard Garden is a special little haven for an intimate dinner or wedding celebration!
The Palm Garden
A secluded garden surrounded by palm trees and overlooking the lavender field…with dreamy sunsets over the mountain range.
Winery Terrace
The winery terrace is ideal for luncheons and BBQs…when not being used to crush grapes and make wine! If you come at harvest time, then you could ask about stomping grapes!
The Great Barn & Picnic Lawn
The Great Barn was built in 1860 and retains it original features and character. It is a haven from the summer sun or winter rains. It can be transformed for almost any occasion with decorations and music. It overlooks the new, vibrant green picnic lawn.
The Dance Hall & Patio Area
Our dance hall has a great atmosphere when full of tables, wine, laughter, ….and, of course, a live band and dancing!
The Barrel Room
This is one of the rooms where we age our award-winning Cabernet Sauvignons. It is also the home of our barrel and reserve wine tastings events. A place to learn and share your passions for food and wine, and a place to love the good life!
Vineyard
Great wine starts in the vineyard. Our vineyards are sustainably farmed and you will see a host of wildflowers, birds and rabbits….as well as the occasional bride or bride-to-be!
Lavender Field
Our lavender is in bloom from mid-May to mid-July. Simply delightful to smell and see. You can join the harvest or pick a bunch with all proceeds on fresh lavender sales going to local charities.
The Wine Room
We have the spaces where we blend and taste our wines…or just sit and sip and enjoy!
Airbnb
We host an Airbnb property on our vineyard. It is the original one-bedroom homestead from 1860 (hidden behind the olive trees in this picture). Stay and watch the sunset into the mountains, go to sleep to the sound of owls, and see the sun rise over the vineyard. Heaven!
