Wine is all about terroir … each vintage expressing the essence of its origin, the merging of soil and climate that creates just the right fragrance, bouquet and flavor. On more than 50,000 acres of vineyards, the magic of winemaking captures the character of the region. Discover your favorite at an assortment of tasting rooms where you can sip and enjoy varietals like pinot noir, chardonnay, petit sirrah, zinfandel, chenin blanc, and so much more.

Raise a glass and share a moment.

Nightlife

Night Life

Sit among the trees at an outdoor theater, gaze at the stars from a hilltop observatory, spend a quiet night at an off-the-beaten track B&B at a vineyard beneath the shadows of towering rock spires or feel the warmth of the night breeze as it drifts through the windows of a mountain resort.

So many experiences to enjoy at the end of the day before your head hits the pillow in rest.

And yes, there’s a vibrant active music, theater, dining and cultural scene that will … send you to your pillow for rest.
