Look! You only have so much time. And most of you spend precious little of it on yourselves.
So, when you visit us at the Beazley House we respect this “limitation” you’ve imposed on us by sending you to WINERIES, not just places you’ll sip and slip.
You may have heard of some of our favorites. You might not have. But we guarantee you’ll remember ‘em after we send you there.
Take Beringer Vineyards for example. Most people simply show up at the visitor’s center, duck into a cave and sip two or three wines. Beazley House guests have an appointment with Dean who will take you on an extensive tour of the caves hand carved by Chinese laborers over 124years ago. You will then retire to the private tasting room in the Rhine House for an elegant and educational foods and wine pairing. You’ll sip vintage and reserve wines only available on this special tour. You’ll be hosted, not herded.
Speaking of caves…how about an entire winery in a cave?! A cave system so huge it has its own ballroom. Bill and Leticia Jarvis created this underground master piece and show it off just two times daily. On their Vintage tour you’ll sip 6 wines and on the Bacchus tour 4 wines. You’ll be sitting down, of course, in their private tasting room and will be sampling cheeses and crackers. This winery has gone sooo underground you can’t tour without an arranged appointment from us.
Stick with the Beazleys and we’ll introduce you to a wine thief! At Del Dotto Caves Historic Winery you’ll sip wines directly from their barrels. Candle light flickers as your guide gently glides the glass neck of the aptly named wine thief into barrel after unique barrel. You are given a liquid education of the subtle nuances supplied by various degrees of toasting the barrels receive. Who knew burning oak could make wine taste so good!?
After Del Dotto you’ll be glad you are staying so close with innkeepers who believe in afternoon naptime.
