Description:

Edit

From the parking lot, follow the sign that leads you southward down a dirt path between the vineyards. On your right are Chardonnay vines, on your left are Sauvignon Blanc.

At the end of the vineyards you approach the oak trees. Veer to the left and follow the trail as it skirts the bluff overlooking the river bottom.

As the trail begins to descend down into the river bottom, it joins a gravel road. Follow this road downward through the "Tree Tunnel." On your left is our neighbors Petite Sirah vineyard.

As the road begins to flatten out, look for the sign that indicates to make a sharp hairpin turn to the right. After making the turn, step over the cable or go through the turnstile. Then stay on the road as you make your way across the flood plain to the river on the other side.
