August 22, 2013 by

With a tasting room created from a restored stone barn, Casanel Vineyards reminds guests of the early tradition of wine-making with its rustic feel and high-quality vino.

Each tasting offers great wines like their Chardonnay Mas Que Nada and guest favorite Don Lorenzo White, which is a blend with a Pinot Grigio. After the tasting, you can head downstairs to the cellar, where there is often live music, or outside to a more intimate spot on the vineyard. There are over 40 acres of land to explore, so you’re sure to find a relaxing place to picnic with their wine and a selection of gourmet snacks. The tasting fee is $5 each for groups up to nine. Groups of 10 or more pay $10 each and also receive a Casanel Vineyards souvenir glass!
