Our tasting host was extraordinary, she was knowledgeable, fun, generous and really made this an unforgettable experience. The wines were great! I highly recommend their black label chardonnay, petite syrah and cab! The black labels are only slightly more expensive than their other offerings and so worth it. The olive oil tasting was a blast and we found a few new favorites! We will be back for sure.

Barrels of wine lined the walls. They turned on a heat lamp for us, very thoughtful considering it was a cold day. We ordered 3 wine tastings (which came with 7 tastings each), an olive oil tasting, and 1 charcuterie board. The kids really enjoyed the charcuterie and olive oils. The grownups enjoyed it all. We did a little family photoshoot while we enjoyed our afternoon snack. We ended up buying a bottle of Olive oil and three bottles of wine to take home.

You can now taste Smiling Dogs wines at the new tasting room in downtown Kelseyville (right next to…read morethe brewery). This location is the home of the winemaker, Scott, and his two Samoyeds (who the wines are named for), Vino and Sophie. The wine is made at this location and it's fun to see the huge barrels of barbera, cabernet sauvignon, sauvignon blanc, etc. The wine is delicious and seems to get better every year! I hope that Kelseyville and Lake County become a new wine tasting destination though the windy roads to get there might make this a bit trickier than Sonoma or Napa... I should note that Scott is my father-in-law but everyone I've offered his wine too has agreed that it's delicious and a good value buy (bottles are currently less than $30).

Nick was so personable. We talked about the wine making experience and how Rosa d'Oro came to be, family. To top it off the wine is amazing. The Chardonnay is superb and I'm not a white wine type of person. I prefer reds. All the red we had were so delicious. My husband and I ended up purchasing a case of wine. Since we enjoyed the wine so much we decided to stop by on our way home (8 hour drive) to purchase another case of wine. Thanks Nick for such a great experience and for making such delicious wine.

For those who appreciate an agritourism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agritourism) getaway from the Bay Area, this is the place for you! Surrounded by 42 acres of open corn fields, sunflowers, tomatoes, watermelons, and other organic vegetables, you'll appreciate simpler, natural times. We stayed in the spacious Rock n Roll cottage. Inspired by our cottage theme, we played our favorite music during the days (without the fear of disturbing anyone) and enjoyed stargazing on our private porch at night. The room was well cleaned every day and supplied with ample towels for our days on the lake. The terrific hosts (R and F) kept the main house open for us to use the kitchen, access to free drinks and fruits, and access to Internet (I strongly urge you to stay off-line as long as possible). True to country hospitality, when we found a lack of venues for dinner, they invited us to a gracious family dinner. Many thanks for welcoming us into your family and home. Treat yourself to simple pleasures - spend the day swimming in the local watering holes, spend the evening enjoying wine at the vineyards, curl up with a John Steinbeck novel on the porch and welcome the starry night sky at the Rancho de la Fuente!
