点评:Working Dog Winery is a place where you can enjoy the day with a group of people for a casual time or a special occasion. The winery has a spacious area where you can set up for picnicking and bring in food if you would like. On weekends there are many events scheduled. A group can enjoy a guided tour, the live music or the company of each other. I didn't get a tour, but did have a great conversation with a staff member who gave me a great explanation of the equipment and what was being done. As a person who makes home made wine, this was very much appreciated. I would recommend a tour if you are interested in a "behind the scenes" education of wine making. A tasting of their wine is included in the tour.
It was nice to learn that the Vineyard was first planted in 2001 and opened to the public in 2003. The Winery began as a passion project between a group of friends. The first grapes planted were Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. Originally, the vineyard was known as "Silver Decoy Winery" and in 2013 it was changed to "Working Dog Winery." The new name was in honor of Chester, the 1st partner's dog who passed in 2011. The new name expresses the winery's dog friendly atmosphere. Today, there are a number of grapes planted in the vineyard. The Vineyard has added Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Sangiovese Chambourcin, Pino Gris, Riesling and Traminette. I enjoyed glasses of their popular refreshing white wine called "Ugly Duckling." The staff is friendly and knowledgable. The charming grounds of the vineyards give a scenic view to the relaxing atmosphere. A must try for all who enjoy a day at the Winery.

很高兴得知,这座葡萄园始建于 2001 年,并于 2003 年向公众开放。酒庄最初是一群朋友出于热情而共同打造的。最初种植的葡萄品种是品丽珠和霞多丽。葡萄园最初名为“银诱饵酒庄”(Silver Decoy Winery),2013年更名为“工作犬酒庄”(Working Dog Winery)。新名称是为了纪念酒庄第一位合伙人的狗狗切斯特(Chester),它于2011年去世。新名称也体现了酒庄对狗狗友好的氛围。如今,葡萄园里种植了多种葡萄品种,新增了梅洛、赤霞珠、西拉、桑娇维塞、香宝馨、灰皮诺、雷司令和特拉米内特。我品尝了他们备受欢迎的清爽白葡萄酒“丑小鸭”(Ugly Duckling)。工作人员热情友好,知识渊博。迷人的葡萄园景色优美,氛围轻松惬意。对于所有喜欢在酒庄度过美好一天的人来说,这里都是不容错过的体验。
