How About A Wine Tour
The area had not one but two beautiful peninsulas to explore on a wine tour adventure. Why is wine so fine here in the area?
The short answer is that we have the right kind of environment for grapes to thrive and taste good after harvest.
Local Tip: If you can only take one bottle home with you, choose one of the iced wines. Delicious!
