Baxter’s Vineyard

Best in the area for tasting and doing the winery adventure thing! The family has been in the business for five generations and knows what’s up. Many award winning varieties to sample, mostly on the sweeter side and unique to my California palette. The Riverbend Red was my favorite. The shop is reasonably priced and has some fun wine accessories to look at while you do your tasting. I picked up a neon green corkscrew (waitstaff quality) for $ 4 because a recent purchase from a major store for 3x as much really let me down.
Tour the winemaking area and enjoy a wine slush or snack (frozen pizzas, cheese plate, simple stuff) from the full bar in another building on the property. This was unusual to see because wineries prefer to keep the competition (hard alcohol & beer) out of the picture and vice versa. It’s cool to have options for the other guests you might have dragged along though. Drinks are reasonably priced here as well! I saw flyers for live music nights that sound fun. Perhaps another day!
