Glancing thru a magazine I spotted an ad for Basel Cellars and suggested we go there next. I didn't realize it was actually an estate. We gasped when we drove up to the gate. Even their driveway was beyond impressive.

Basel Cellars Estate Winery planted their first vineyards in 1997 and began production in 2002. All of the production is done on site in their amazing 9,600 sq. ft. subterranean structure. We actually got to go down there and taste a wine right out of the barrel. So cool!

But it is the house that is beyond belief - a 13,800 sq. ft. rustic castle is what I call it. The entry itself takes your breath away with massive logs on either side of the exquisite, intricately hand-carved door.

We could not tour the main estate but read it has eight guest rooms, meeting rooms, a gourmet kitchen, multiple fireplaces, an indoor hot tub, sauna, a theme bar, private outdoor pool and separate poolside Cabana.

The attached tasting room was lovely and they very pleasantly visited with us answering any questions we had. This had to be one of our most amazing stops of the day.
