Tour wine country and visit local wineries and markets where you will make purchases to assemble your own wine country picnic lunch! The surrounding wine region offers an outstanding driving experience via winding two-lane roads through rolling hills covered with vineyards.

During the drive we will be making stops at different markets giving you a chance to assemble a picnic lunch from a wide variety of food choices that will surprise you.
