Enjoy the expansive views with a picnic at this hilltop cellar door. It's a sublime setting for one of the valley's oldest vineyards (first planted in 1866) and there's an interesting historic display. An extensive range of wines is available for tasting, with a $5 list and a $10 one. There are cottages here (weekend rates $775 to $1100) if you want to stay.
