Fancy some pétanque with your plonk? This barnlike, 1894 cellar door has a grassy picnic area, and there’s a roaring fire inside in winter. Sample reasonably priced stickies (dessert wines) and the show-stealing Church Block blend. Whites include a citrusy viognier and an aromatic riesling. Tasting fees apply.
