Perfect for honey-mooners or special anniversaries, we offer more interesting upgrades than other rental homes. First and foremost, we are actually wine makers. Frank Wines are made and bottled here, so there are wine making events right on the property throughout the year. As wine makers we have gathered quite a number of medals and awards including the single most prestigious annual award given a wine maker... the Orange County Wine Competition's "Best of Show for Reds 2007" for 2005 Dry Creek Syrah. If you want to learn wine making, we are your place to stay. We can teach you the specifics.
