This was our first experience staying at a Harvest Hosts<\/a> property, and we loved it.<\/p>\n

We actually live only 45 minutes from here, but we’d both had such a crazy week at work that we just wanted to get out of the house for a night. I called ahead and they were happy to accommodate us at short notice, so we hooked up the trailer, threw some supermarket sushi into the fridge and hit the road.<\/p>\n

The wines here are great, particularly the Big Trees Red, which is a very nice full bodied blend. We bought half a case of various wines, as well as some other goodies from their gift shop. We visited during November when the pumpkin patch and cornfield maze was in full swing.<\/p>\n

The campground will hold four RV’s with water and electric (no sewer), which was a very nice surprise. There is a freight train that passes by quite regularly sounding it’s horn, but it doesn’t run all night and if anything, it just adds to the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

On the night we visited, their was a private party for a Young Farmers of America group. (I’m sure I have the name wrong, but it was something like that). Anyway, the owner invited us to join in and we danced under the stars to a live country band. I’m not usually a country music person, but it’s hard not be sucked in when you’re in such good company, with good wine and great atmosphere.<\/p>\n

This winery and Harvest Host campground is great and I would highly recommend it to anyone passing through California’s Central Valley.<\/p>\n
