Gundlach Bundschu Winery

This was a nice, kind of off the beatin’ path winery. Here we meet Tito, the man behind the wine tasting bar. He was not only a character, but also very wine savvy. He gave us some great history of the winery which is said to be the oldest one in the area. You can check out their webpage, it ahs a lot of good information including a historical time line that goes back into the 1800’s. It is almost as interesting as the wines they served. The tasting room was very classy. It looked more like a library. The energy was great at this place. We were again given a free wine, usually an estate tasting is $5 and a graduated tasting is $15. Big hint, when tasting wines in the valley, always ask if they could suggest a winery for you to visit, when they do, they send you over with a card and that card entitles you to a free wine, yeah. Just ask, it is as simple as that.

Take a little time to enjoy all the wines, but savor those reds. There is so much to do here at Gundlach like take tours, enjoy a cave meal, celebrate a special event or even have your wedding. It a great place to also bring your own lunch. They have a very nice picnic area with clean restrooms.
