12888 Spencerville Rd., in Penn Valley, 10 miles from Grass Valley, (530) 432-3321. Free tasting Sat-Sun 12-5pm (Mar-Oct), 1-4pm (Nov-Dec).
Getting here takes you through peaceful rural countryside, making for an enjoyable and scenic excursion.
You can do a comparative tasting while seated under mature shade trees on beautiful stone-walled terraces overlooking the expansive Pilot Peak Vineyard & Winery property. You’ll sample a flight of four wines in numbered glasses that match tasting notes to guide you. A small plate of complimentary appetizers are provided so you can experience the delicious interactions created by the marriage of food and wine. Be sure to also try Peak a Boo, a blend that uses the best red grapes available each year, and Grenache--my favorite—a delightful summer-weight red. Bring a picnic, buy a bottle, and stay a while. All wines are sold only on site. Do consider joining their active wine club so you get invited to the many very special events scheduled throughout the year.
