Ideas for after the tour:

Bell Wine Cellars or Chandon are ideal wineries to visit after our experience for a town and vineyard balance. For Chandon, we recommend making a 2:45 p.m. (or later) reservation direct with Chandon at 888-242-6366 or email them at talk-to-us@chandon.com ASAP, as they fill up with a wait list quickly. They take walk-up guests in they can, but it is not guaranteed. For Bell winery, it is also very close and you can find them on their website here or call them at 707-944-1673.
