My birthday journey to Allegretto Winery Resort has been nothing wanting magical. We began off my precise birthday with an Allegretto Wines winery tour and wine tasting right here on the resort. The 2-hour occasion started at 10 am with a tour of the property and ended with a tasting within the courtyard. (Be aware: you’ll be able to simply do one or the opposite.) We bought to see fairly a little bit of the resort’s beautiful gardens in the course of the hour-long tour. For those who’re staying on the resort, it’s a good way to study extra in regards to the property.
Winery Tour
The climate was completely attractive for our leisurely stroll across the property. We bought to see the place the lovely alpacas and sheep stay, we discovered all in regards to the zodiac backyard, and we even toured the abbey all earlier than heading up the hill to predominant winery. (PSA: You’ll wish to put on snug footwear for the tour, as we walked a minimum of a mile and up a steep hill!) There our tour information identified the second winery excessive up within the mountains in Willow Creek.
Most notably, we discovered the heart-wrenching story behind Allegretto’s therapeutic gardens. The proprietor’s son tragically misplaced his life in a automobile accident. Dylan may be very a lot a part of the center of Allegretto now; even the primary assembly room is called after him in order that he’s a part of all the selections. I had a lump in my throat listening to that. What an exquisite technique to honor somebody.
The gardens are designed to advertise peace and serenity, as designing them helped the proprietor by his grief. As you all know, the final yr and a half of my life has been fairly devastating and I’ve been a ball of hysteria and heartbreak. I instructed Sarah on our first full day that I really feel extra at peace at Allegretto than I’ve in years. Seems, it’s designed that can assist you heal. How pretty is that?
The Tasting
Our tasting started at 11 am on the tasting room’s courtyard. I’m so comfortable we bought to take a seat exterior and benefit from the gorgeous Tuscan views of Allegretto Winery Resort. Our tasting included 5 wines and couldn’t have been much less rushed. We simply may have sat there for an hour and a half! A couple of scrumptious meals gadgets have been obtainable for buy to take pleasure in with the tasting, however sadly we have been simply too stuffed from breakfast at Cello.
We tried six Allegretto Wines throughout our tasting. Our favorites have been the 2022 Duetto (a wonderful mix of Viognier and Vermentino), a bonus style of rosé that smelled precisely like my Strawberry Galette, and the 2019 Willow Creek Cabernet Sauvignon with hints of vanilla and a juicy mouthfeel.
