The 0.7-mile Zinfandel Trail loop leads to a small pond, and the winery grounds have peacocks wandering around and picnic tables.

💡 Tips
The dirt path is rutted, so a carrier is best; grown-ups can grab a bottle of wine while the kids chase peacocks (gently). The winery often has live music on weekends.
