If you’ve never visited Testarossa Winery and have the time, you should drive (or walk) up the hill - it’s literally only a few hundred feet from the house - to enjoy very good wines (specializing in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay) in their various tasting rooms, beautiful grounds (rivals any in Napa/Sonoma) and excellent bites - and even take a tour if you wish. Depending on the day you go, there’s also live music. It’s a great way to spend a few hours any day of the week - or happy hour during the work week. From the same entrance to the winery is the seminary which you can drive by, but the main attraction is the view from one of the highest perches in the area.
