Be careful where your map
program routes you - ours routed us to the old entrance
off the Becker Farms Road road, instead of the new entrance off Hwy 290 - a
local passerby helped us with directions.
Jack and Karla drove down
this morning and met up with us here at...
 |
 |
We arrived at
Becker Vineyards mid-morning |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
The
Homestead B&B is located adjacent to the Winery, for
those that might want to stay close to the wine |
|
|
|
|
 |
Everyone enjoyed their
complimentary tasting - several of us left with bottles |
 . |
 |
|
This mid 1800's antique bar was from the Green Tree
Saloon, which was established in San Antonio during the
19th Century. The long leaf red pine and ceiling panel
bar and backdrop were produced at the August Kerns
Supply Company in St. Louis, Missouri.

|
|
|
|
|
They were
setting up the outdoor tasting areas getting ready for a
busy afternoon |
 |
|
|
Behind the Winery is where
you will find the
lavender fields |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
After the tasting the
sitting area was popular, then a quick glance at the
building before departing |

Heading out of the winery |
 |
 |
Looking back behind us as
the others followed |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
The vineyards were to our
left as we departed |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
Our original cruise route
only planned one winery for today however, the group
wanted to stop at a second winery and
Torre di Pietra was the decision
 |
 |
This winery was located
about a mile up the road from Becker |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Inside, everyone enjoyed
some different wines, with a Spanish flair and finish.
Here, you pay for the tasting, $5 for 5 wines but you
could share a tasting with that special someone.
Several of us left here
with a bottle or two of wine |
