You can take the scenic drive. It’s about an hour without stops, but much longer if you walk to overlooks (which you totally should). Hit the bathrooms when you pass them. They are not plentiful.

A fantastic first stop on today’s winery tour. We sat down with the winemaker to do our tasting. Very informative and educational.

Nice wines. Friendly owner and staff.

Graystone Winery

Graystone was recommended to us by the owner of Garfield Estate Winery. I’m not a sweet wine drinker unless it’s port. Graystone only does ports. We were not disappointed. They had four ports, and all of them were delicious!
