About Lava Cap Winery

Lava Cap Winery is a true gem in the area, offering a wonderful atmosphere and an array of delectable wines. The service is exceptional, with attentive staff providing extra tastings based on customer interests. Visitors can enjoy the Old Vine Zin, Port, Rosé, and Lover's Leap, a sweet wine infused with brandy. The winery supports local businesses, such as Annabelle's chocolate, making it a great destination for wine enthusiasts and geologists alike.

The views are spectacular, and the wines are excellent. The staff are well-versed in wines and the winery itself, offering great conversation and food pairings like cheese and crackers. Many visitors spend hours on the deck or at the picnic tables, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and breathtaking sunsets over the grapevines and mountains. The tasting fee is waived with bottle purchases, such as their Syrah and Merlot, which guests love.

A favorite for yearly visits, Lava Cap is pet-friendly and welcoming, with a warm hospitality that keeps people coming back. The front seating offers perfect views, and the staff’s kind nature makes every visit memorable. It’s not often you find a tasting where every wine is enjoyed—just be prepared to wish you could stay all day.
