It sure was nice to have a tasting room attached to our hotel. Actually it was inside the hotel.
It was our second day in town and we were getting ready to go out but I called ahead to see if first we could try some of their wine. It's a good thing I did call ahead as it sounds lie there isn't always someone in the tasting room. But when we walked into the beautiful side room and area(to the left of the reception area) there was a gal there waiting for us. She set up a series of wines to try and we obliged.
As I sipped on my first pour I took in the rooms. It's a older Victorian building so the floor boards creaked in comforting way. It felt like a place with some history. The Victorian era sofa and chandelier were a nice touch as well.
And the wines were pretty darn good as well.
In fact comparted to the vineyards we had been at the day before, where we bought 1 bottle, we walked away with 2 bottles here. They do tastings for a couple different places so we found a red and white we liked.
You don't have to stay at the hotel to visit the tasting room, and I would recommend that you do check it out. read more
