Alto Vineyards and Winery
Having won lots of accolades in wine competitions, it is just a requisite to experience the wine tour here at Alto Vineyards.
Fortunately, for future to-be wed couples, the family-owned vineyard has an outdoor pavilion which can be used as a venue for special occasions, but most of the time it is used as an event space for wine festivals. Yay!
