Description
Horses, wine, music and hospitality greet visitors to this eclectic, rustic
off-the-beaten-track venue. Great Belgian Draft horses frolic in their pastures, while regular weekend and often weekday live music is presented in the grassy, tree-shaded “front yard.”
Six generations of winemaking have created this lovely spot in which to enjoy the afternoon or weekend evening. The winery offers horse-drawn carriage wine-tasting trips through the vineyards, as well as trail rides through the hills of the Temecula Valley.
Inside the simple wood-paneled tasting room is a mix of wines, gift items and an artistic tangle of grape vines hanging over the small tasting counter. A cow hide hangs on the wall, and oriental rugs cover the floors.
The winery makes richly flavored California varietals including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, White Merlot, Muscat, Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and a zesty Zinfandel Port. Wines are available only in the tasting room.
