Darling Winery

You walk down the long, floral alley past Fulcrum Winery to the end where you see the Darling Winery sign just beyond the fountain.  The tasting room is really nice, cozy and nicely decorated.

But the reason to be there are the Chardonnays and Pinots.  They’re all great wines and they have quite a selection.  

Our host was very knowledgeable and knew her wines and clones.  Her timing when serving was excellent and kept us moving along.
