The upper scene is the view of the drive through the vineyards to the winery. The various types of grapes being grown and the date of planting are visible on signs in the vineyards. The bottom view is of the main building where the tastings are offered, site of the retail store and cellars for the aging of the wine in oak barrels. In the foreground is the foundation of the new building (now almost complete) with greatly expanded storage facilities.
