Wine Tasting on River Road Wine Trail

“I don’t always drink Napa Valley wine but when I do,

I go to South Monterey Wine Country.”

Monterey County is one of the best kept secrets when it comes to wine! Our River Road Wine Trail Tour consists of a beautiful scenic drive and visiting and doing some serious wine tasting at three wineries. Each one has a unique setting and has something different to offer. Cheese platter, gourmet lunch, gourmet platter (optional) will be served at one of the wineries. Please inform us of any dietary needs. It is recommended to consume nutrients to offset the effect of  alcohol. A visit to the Soledad Visitors & Gateway Center will top off the trip.
