The ranch (vineyard) is not a tourist destination. If you go to Condorshope.com you can sign up to get on the mailing list and see the list of work related events they host. If you are lucky enough to make the cut you will work in the vineyard, camp in the vineyard or sleep in the bunkhouse. And you will be treated to the best meals you can imagine (if you like a sumptuous buffet of organic meats and produce and the best wine I have ever tasted)
In the evening we sit around the campfire, entertained by live music and singing. A hike up to the ridge above the vineyard on BLM land completes the weekend. And not any ordinary hike. The owners of Condor's Hope are retired agroecology professors at UCSC so you get a scientific description of every rock, flower, bush and bug.
If you ever want to get deeper into where your wine comes from beyond the store shelf, you will get an education that will stun you and blow you away. Oh, and the wine is fantastic and will also blow you away! read more
