La
st weekend there was a special event at Windsor Oaks Vineyards. Windsor Oaks Vineyards sits on a beautiful property of 710 acres. Appr. 250 acres are planted with grapes, the remaining is dedicated to ‘Forever Wild Open Space’. The drive from Arata Lane to the tasting room is beautiful year round.
They are open only by appointment and on selected weekends throughout the year. We really like their wines and enjoy going to the winery, being surrounded by the beauty of nature while tasting some good wine, that’s true wine country living.
This year in August they organized ‘Tour the Cru’ and one could bike and hike the property. Plan is to do this more often in the coming year: you will find me hiking there during one of these weekends.
There have been some changes over the last year. Gary Finnan not only told us a bit more about these changes (the winemaker Margaret Davenport) but also let us try the ‘wine’ from this year’s harvest and is still in the stainless steel tanks. I never drank wine/juice this young and it was a great experience. 2012 is going to be an excellent year and you could already taste this.
Hiking/biking and wine tasting, it doesn’t get much better than that.
