On a trip from Minnesota to visit my adult daughter in California, she brought me to Kirigin -- one of her favorites. The tasting room and grounds are beautiful, even in January off-season. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable. We brought a picnic lunch. After our wine tasting, we bought a bottle of Riesling and sat in the lovely patio area to eat, drink wine and visit. Kirigin has a wine for just about every taste. I'm not a huge fan of sweet wines, but they have a red chocolatey dessert wine for was awesome. This was my favorite winery of my whole trip, and I hope to return soon! They also offer space for banquets and events like weddings. It would be a lovely spot for a wedding.

If you love garlic this is your place. Yes, it's a little touristy but it is so Americana. It's right off the 101 so easy on and off. You can buy anything you want with garlic in it. The prices were a little high but I just love the shop. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They have olive oil, candy, drinks, etc. But they have local garlic and how many times are you in the Galic Capitol of California!! Go for a quick stop.
