Wintertime @ the vineyards
Many vineyards offer pre-set dinners with wine pairing, prepared by talented chefs, and offer an intimate atmosphere.
Shady Lane Cellars allows snow shoeing and cross-country skiing through its vineyard. And they offer warm soup and wine in the winter. (note: the mini-dome has snow shoes that are free to use for our guests)
