Goats are hanging out in the area of the property located just below the tasting room. Seating is available both indoors and outdoors (patio with tables and chairs or deck with large fireplace and mountain views). A small gift shop is also located inside next to the wine-tasting room. Cheese and tapas available from tasting room.
Pets are welcome outside on the wine patio (but not inside the tasting room). Children need to be under your control at all times.
