Best Wine

Tastings at the winery May through October, or look for Stone Cottage in local restaurants and shops. The pinot noir is especially good, but we like all of their wines.

Best Day Trip

Absolutely worth the 45 minute drive. The north rim is closed during the winter, but for most of the year it's the best, least-crowded way to enjoy the Black Canyon.
