This wine producer offers a nice indoor tasting room and pours both white and red varietals from grapes grown in the nearby hills. The tasting itself is free or you can opt for a cellar tour. The wine was quite good and very reasonably priced (we took a few bottles home).

Even if you don't stay on the property, the Celler Martin Faixo offers wonderful wine tasting and is worth the stop.
