On any given weekend, you\u2019ll probably only have time to visit just three or four, so to make the most of your time, we picked out the most over-the-top, interesting of the lot. In addition to wine tasting, each offers something unusual, from a tour to food pairings, etc. While these experiences don&#8217;t come cheap\u2014they range anywhere from $50 to $100\u2014they&#8217;ll definitely make for a memorable day in Wine Country.

Stunning panoramic views of the surrounding pastoral rolling hills are enjoyed at the top.
