Sanford Winery offers a unique experience with its ATV vineyard tour, allowing visitors to travel through the vineyards and learn about the wine-making process. The winery is known for its excellent wines, including the 2018 Sanford & Benedict Pinot Noir, which is described as mildly earthy and smooth, as well as outstanding Chardonnays. Guests have praised the lovely location in the Santa Rita Hills, making for a beautiful afternoon of wine tasting.
The winery's single vineyard Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays are highlighted as some of the very best in California, and the sparkling wines are also amazing. Many guests recommend trying the cheese and charcuterie tray, which pairs perfectly with the tastings. Visitors can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, especially if they avoid the weekend crowds. The tasting room is comfortable, and the staff is enthusiastic and welcoming, ensuring a memorable experience for wine enthusiasts.
