Sunflowers, lavender, beehives and crowing roosters greet your arrival at this winery and biodynamic farm, with self-guided garden tours and a redwood grove beside the vines. Kids can giggle with pigs and chickens while you sample Rhône varietals, unusual blends and lip-smacking, award-winning Sauvignon Blanc. Bottles are $24 to $55.
