You now have a pretty good idea of our side of the winery business. The site has about 200 tanks, 5 presses, 2 crushers, and a crew of 40 (more like 40 blue smerfs). Drylands is owned by Constellation which is the largest wine company in the world. They own wineries in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Drylands alone deals with 20,000 tons of grapes. Our labels are Drylands, Nobilo, VNO, and are most popular, Kim Crawford.

But we are more like the man behind the curtain. Here is a look at the other side of the winery (literally). We have a cute cellar door that offers tasting. There is also a delicious restaurant and cafe with a sweet patio overlooking the vines.
