Just up the hill from the little crook in the road that is Glen Ellen and just down the hill from Jack London State Historic Park, the family-operated Benziger Family Winery operates a 45-minute tram tour through their biodynamic vineyards that provides hands-on experience with vines, grapes, and trellising techniques.  The tour is followed by tasting.  Additional diversions include caged peacocks and extensive picnic facilities as well as an open-air cafe.
