It was already dark when we came to the campground last night, so we set up our tents, had a small BBQ and headed off to bed. The nice thing with camping is that you tend to always wake up bright and early!
On the schedule for today was wine tasting in the Santa Ynez Valley, outside Solvang. We had no real plan, just drove around to see what we could find.
We started off with Andrew Murray Vineyards.
A kind of hidden location behind the big Firestone vineyard, or actually, Andrew Murray Vineyards are renting a spot on one of Firestones big fields and it was kind of difficult to find, but it was well worth it once we got there.
Since we were already in the hood, we thought we’d might as well stop by the Firestone as well.
You can get Firestone everywhere, I think they might even export their wines.
We had one more stop scheduled, but were gonna meet up with some more friends and they were running late, so we stopped by Curtis Winery as well for some tasting and picnic. Turns out Curtis is also a part of the Firestone Wine Family.
We were all a little tired and tipsy and felt it was nap time, but we had decided we were gonna meet up with our friends at the Zaca Mesa Winery. We were still early so I was wandering around a bit.
I found their steel barrels that were recycled Pepsi Cola barrels.
Zaca Mesa was the last stop for the day, and also the best wine!
