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. (Notice: 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 throughout the hour-long tour. In the event you’re staying on the resort, it’s a good way to be taught extra concerning the property.
Winery Tour
The climate was completely beautiful for our leisurely stroll across the property. We bought to see the place the cute alpacas and sheep dwell, we realized all concerning the zodiac backyard, and we even toured the abbey all earlier than heading up the hill to essential winery. (PSA: You’ll wish to put on snug footwear for the tour, as we walked at the very least 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 realized the heart-wrenching story behind Allegretto’s therapeutic gardens. The proprietor’s son tragically misplaced his life in a automobile accident. Dylan could be very a lot a part of the guts of Allegretto now; even the principle assembly room is known as after him in order that he’s a part of all the selections. I had a lump in my throat listening to that. What a beautiful approach to honor somebody.
The gardens are designed to advertise peace and serenity, as designing them helped the proprietor by way of 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 advised 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 joyful we bought to sit down 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 might have sat there for an hour and a half! Just a few scrumptious meals gadgets had been out there for buy to get pleasure from with the tasting, however sadly we had been simply too stuffed from breakfast at Cello.
We tried six Allegretto Wines throughout our tasting. Our favorites had 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.
