"Excellent selection of award-winning wines. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating on the veranda or at picnic tables with good sunshades and a beautiful view of the vineyard, lake and hills. Kid-friendly! Our daughter enjoyed a mountain of delicious crusty French bread and herbed olive oil for dipping with her soda. Plenty left to take home with our two purchased bottles."
