What to do? Here are some suggestions...
Wine Tasting
| Langtry Estate & Vineyards | |||
 |
21000 Butts Canyon Road Middletown, CA 95461 (707) 987-2385 www.langtryestate.com Tasting room open daily, 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m | ||
| As far back as 1854, Langtry Estate & Vineyards — formerly Guenoc Estate Vineyards & Winery — has been a home to winegrapes. From 1888 to 1906, it was home to actress Lillie Langtry, who continued the grape-growing tradition of the land and whose face continues to grace the Guenoc label. In 1963, the winery was established by the Magoon family who also planted extensive vineyard acreage and were among the first in California to plant the five major red Bordeaux grape varieties. By 1981, Guenoc Valley was approved as an AVA — the first single-proprietor AVA in the country, with such spectacular views, some people travel to Guenoc just to have a look. Today, under new ownership, Langtry Estate & Vineyards continues to thrive with a Petite Sirah that has won more gold medals and best of show awards than any other Petite Sirah in the world. | |||

| Six Sigma Ranch & Winery | |||
 |
13372 Spruce Grove Road Lower Lake, CA 95457 (707) 994-2086 www.sixsigmaranch.com Tasting room open daily 11:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Barrel tasting and ranch tours by appointment. Limited tasting also available at Lake County Wine Studio (LCWS). | ||
| With a background in math and statistics, it’s no wonder owner Kaj Ahlmann named Six Sigma Ranch and Winery after a methodology. Six Sigma is a measure of quality and process improvement that strives for near perfection. Each of Kaj’s wines is designed using this concept’s data-driven principles — from vineyard planting to customer service. Six Sigma’s 4,300-acre ranch was developed with the intent to maintain its natural state. In fact, not only are the vineyards responsible for producing superb wines, they also serve as wildlife corridors for the deer, bobcat, wild turkey, wild pigs, and bears to live in perfect symbiosis with the land. Even the winery makes use of the landscape by storing its barrels in a wine cave carved directly into a hillside. | |||

The Terrill Cellars winery was built with an original wall from the Lower Lake Livery Stable from the 1860s. Tasting is offered both indoors and out. | |||
