"Normally the vineyards are not open to the public." Riverbench Vineyards & Winery, Allan Hancock College Winery and wineries represented by Coastal Vineyard Care will hold free wine tastings. Visitors will also hear from vintners about the latest technology that goes into winemaking as well as traditional processes.
