A Tour of a Private Winery of the Napa Valley

We visited this winery. Don't know the name of this winery because they don't even have a sign because they want the tourist to stay away. People that come here is only by personal invitation.

We were welcome by very friendly people. They were waiting for us. When we got there people were sitting in the portals of the winery.

We could have sat here all day and it would have been enough. But then the tour guide came and we had to go with her.

It's mandatory to be drinking wine as you walk around the grounds, So they gave us each a cup and a group basket with four different bottles of wine to drink during the tour.

They do a very personal and friendly tour at this winery.

There were cozy areas with umbrellas and tables to sit down and enjoy drink the wine and just enjoy the surroundings. Very relaxing and peaceful!

Flowers, fruit trees, bushes, vegetables all growing together.
Beautiful!

Edibel, our tour guide was very good in explaining things to us

Walking among the paths that had a mix of flowers bushes and vegetables.
They grow it naturally like wild plants but they also have gardeners that attend to them.
Love this style of gardening!

There were lots of fruit trees

Walking around the vegetable gardens.
This winery grows all of fruits and vegetables.
They practice the dry farming method. This method forces the plants to have deeper roots to get to the water deep in the ground. This makes the plants grow stronger. They have an irrigation system but they don't water the plants every day. The irrigation system is only use as a back up if the plants get too dry.

Gordon loved the vegetable gardens

Zulita preferred the flowers
