What the picnic area is like

A small ranch at the valley's western edge where organic vines run up to wooded hillside, mixed in with pomegranate, Meyer lemon and olive trees, a kitchen garden, and farm animals. Picnic tables are laid with linens, palm-leaf plates and silverware. It feels like visiting a family farm rather than a winery estate.
