From the web site: "Six generations of the
Bundschu family have farmed our estate vineyard at the
southernmost tip of Sonoma Valley. We’ve been enjoying the beauty of the
site and the exquisite character of its wines for 150 years, and invite
you to spend a few hours getting to know the place, the wines, and the
people that make Gundlach Bundschu unique." Cave tours are available by reservation for $20, which includes wine
tasting. It is about a half-hour long and it changes about 3 times a
year. This year the winery is offering a special tour: a two-hour tour of
the vineyards in a
Pinzgauer
all-terrain vehicle. The tour includes wine
tasting in the vineyards, a cave tour, and a taste of their Limited
Edition Vintage Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, all for
$40/person, truly a unique experience. It starts at
11:15am, Friday through Sunday through October 2, and resservations are
required - call
707-938-5277. See this
video for a preview and this web
page for more information.
