2016.05.15 San Diego Wine Country Chauffeured Tours / La Jolla Wine Tours – 2

 ~Andres篇

在結束 Bernardo Winery 品酒之後，我們車往上坡上前進，進入接下來真正在葡萄園的酒庄。 

After Bernardo Winery tasting, we drove to hill where the vineyard located.

沿途的葡萄園。

哇！葡萄園！

哇！還是葡萄園

 

歐~又是葡萄園。

The “vineyard road”.

第二站 Altipiano Vineyard

 

1991年才成立的 Altipiano 酒莊，是由莊主夫婦自種自釀，雖然沒有家族歷史背景，也沒有非常悠久的經歷，但位於適合葡萄生長的標準式山坡上葡萄園，反而是今天最好喝的酒，推薦如果有到San Diego想品酒的朋友來試試。雖然San Diego 在南加州天氣較炎熱，Altipiano Vineyard 又在向陽面的山坡上，但風很大，即便在白天，但氣溫還挺涼的，風景也相當好。

The 2^nd stop: Altipiano Vineyard.

Altipiano vineyard was built in 1991. The grapes are grown in their farm where is located in the hill of San Diego county. Although they do not come from a famous wine family or generation, their vineyard located in a very nice place. It is very hot in San Diego, but the wind is very heavy there. Even in the summer afternoon, you still feel a bit cold at their vineyard! Due to these conditions, the view is also very nice and good for wine tasting.
