When visitors arrive at Adams Bench Winery, they're struck by
the serene landscape and charm of the winemakers themselves,
who are always ready to chat about winemaking philosophy
and the origin of the winery's name. Lush hydrangea, lavender,
and gentle paths lead past a small Craftsman-style winery
production barn adjacent to a two-story structure housing
the tasting room and underground barrel cellar. An occasional
hot air balloon overhead or visitor arriving on horseback for
tasting adds to the serene setting.
As Adams Bench Winery continues to evolve into the next
decade and beyond, it will remain a beloved destination, and
the wines will surely continue to captivate wine appreciators
for generations to come.
