advise of vineyards to visit

1. I went on a limo tour there - twice

as a bachelor party, and a year later with the same group of friends. There are many vineyards, and I think we hit half of them. All were equally good, all had tasting rooms. I don't think you could go wrong with any of them. I'm not sure which serves food as well, but a good start would be the vineyard (growers) association.

and their map of vineyards:

Hope it helps, and have fun! I did.

2. Sorry to catch this late.

If you haven't gone yet, I recommend Briar Rose Winery.

3. That looked cool to me...like a homey winery ?

4. Yes, a fun and intimate experience!

I believe the owner used to work for Disney so the tasting room is decorated like Snow White's cottage. You get seated at a private table and are poured some really magnificent wines. I particularly loved their Zinfandel and bought a bottle of that last time we were there, which was in 2016. I really recommend it!
