One of the only options right now for actual winery tours that meet all required Covid guidelines. We paid for the off-road experience and had the best tour guide, Peter. He took us all over the property, stopping in to see the wine caves (you can peek in), through the vineyard (even ate grapes off the vine) and ended with our own personal tasting outside the Hacienda. It's picturesque and no wonder a hot spot for weddings. The wines are excellent and don't forget to snag a bottle of their olive oil. Tasty!

We spent more than 2 hours wandering around this museum. There are several sections devoted to motorcycles, scooters and memorabilia. My husband is a rider, has been for most of his life. I don't ride, but I am a Moto-GP racing fan, and am fascinated by the designs, workmanship, and stories behind the bikes on display. You'll see one of Steve McQueen's Harleys, Nicky Hayden and Eric Bostrom bikes, vintage motorcycles, and more. My husband spoke with curator and restorer Bobby Weindorf, and we were shown around by Randy wilder, who told us amazing and entertaining stories about some of the bikes (and their riders). The entry price is very reasonable - as seniors, we got in for $10. each - and you won't regret the time you spend here.

This is a small family run vineyard. Each type of wine is named after a grandchild. Every bottle of wine has a picture of a quilt that the family matriarch made. The wines were really tasty too.
