Great Gift Ideas - Winter may seem an unlikely time to wine taste, but it's actually a great time to explore new places and check out some of the more popular wineries. During prime season the Wine Country can be crowed and over run with "tourist." Don't get me wrong, I'm a tourist and tourism is welcome and so important to the wine industry. We thrive on it here, but if you have quite a few wineries on your list, Winter is a great time to see more and do more. The biggest bonus of all is having the tasting room all to yourself. The tasting room manager will be so happy to see you!
This is also a great time to do some of your Christmas shopping. Wineries have the best gift shops. I recently stopped off at Ferrai Carano and took some pics and grabbed a couple of gifts.
Other fabulous tasting room gift shops include Chateau St. Jean and Landmark both located on Hwy 12 just outside of Santa Rosa before you reach Kenwood. A beautiful drive lined with 150 year old oak trees.
