"Outpost Wines is a hike up the mountain so would recommend for anyone coming, try to plan a few different wineries on the hill, otherwise your drive time will be high. Excellent scenery — we did a tour of the property which was amazing (beats Chappellet). Our host was outstanding. Wines were good paired with the amazing view. This was our first time — definitely added to our list of return places."
