Cardinal Point Vineyard & Winery Lots of changes going on at Cardinal Point, from exciting new wines to new construction! They have added a comfortable indoor seating area and more covered spaces for outdoor events. Guests now have a cozy lounge to relax and enjoy a glass of Cardinal Point wine away from the bustle of the tasting room. A large deck
has gone in between the winery and tasting room, and the patio is getting a roof as well.
Winemaker Tim Gorman is even more excited about the new vintage than he is about all the building improvements! Among the upcoming releases to look forward to: a sparkling wine, a return of the Cab. F. + Vio, and a hopped Chardonnay -- truly one of the most unique wines around, and absolutely delicious. You'll want to come out to try these and all of Tim's other wonderful wines.
Check out the TINS FOR TUNES summer concert series schedule--with the new addition of a food truck to each event, picnicking just became a lot easier! First up: The Jim Waive Duo on 5/18.
