This was my first time at this vineyard and it is just *SO* gorgeous. It is located at top of a hill-ish area, kind of isolated but its beautiful. I went here as part of zonta wine fundraiser event. The organization usually partners up with RainSong for fundraising in order to help positively impact lives of women and girls.
I tried their wine sampling and also participated in Barrel bottling event. The wines are just amazing and definitely worth a try. Something new I discovered here were Pinot Menuier wines. I haven't seen this wine in any place I have been so far (maybe I need to expand my wine knowledge more but this was new to me). Ah! It was *AMAZING*. Pinot Menuier is one of the three main ingredients in making Champagne.
The other main attraction for me was the Barrel Bottling event. Me along with couple more people volunteered to help package wine in bottles. We used empty new cases of bottle, filled them up with wine and screw the cork using the machinery provided. And then labelled the bottles correctly and safely put them in their cases. This was super fun and the hardest part was screwing the cork (which is an arm workout in itself). Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this winery.
There are many varieties of wine available here.. Pinot Gris, Riesling, Dry Rose, Menuier, Noir, and much much more! Staff is super friendly and always ready to answer any questions regarding wine making process or anything you may have in mind. I definitely recommend visiting this winery .. perfect way to enjoy your day!
