Wine Tasting
to have a space where friends and family can sit and enjoy a glass together,” said Luke.
Unlike most spirits, which are derived from grain, Max uti-
lizes estate-grown grapes to craft unique styles of spirits. Grapes are first harvested, then crushed and destemmed prior to fermentation in open bins, much like the process for winemaking. Turning this juice into a spirit takes the extra step of distillation.
Visitors to the Bethel Rd tasting room can enjoy much more than the distilled spirits. “We have creat- ed outstanding Grappas, beautifully balanced Gins, vibrant liqueurs, and complex aged brandies. You will also find top notch small batch wines, highlighting unique single varietal releases grown exclusively in the Templeton Gap,” said Max.
With two tasting bars, plenty
of options for spirit or wine tast- ing, charcuterie plates, and other gourmet items, this is an ideal stop to spend some time and appreciate the passion and efforts of the Udsen family. The stills are located inside the tasting room along with a cozy
lounge area. The property includes an expansive picnic area with breathtaking vineyard views. As the warmer weather arrives you will find several opportunities to enjoy live music – another of the family’s passions.
Join the Spirit & Cocktail Club to explore the world of mixology. Ship- ments include two to three bottles
