Trail One · The Spine
Ponte Winery
Gardens, arbors, and three hundred acres of estate vines. The Tempranillo and Syrah draw the serious tasters; the restaurant draws everyone else.
Three hundred acres of estate vines, gardens and arbors threaded through the middle of them, and a restaurant that stays busy from opening. The Tempranillo and Syrah are what bring the serious tasters back; the setting is what brings everyone else the first time.

This page is an independent guide, not the winery. Hours, tasting fees and
reservation rules change season to season — and several rooms are
reservation-only on weekends. Check Ponte Winery’s own site or call before
building the day around it.
