You won’t see any covered wagons on this Oregon Trail. Now, it’s a 150-mile stretch of hills and valleys with perfectly placed vineyards, wild berries, mushroom farms, and hazelnut orchards.

With a French philosophy and California attitude, our first stop is Vérité, which produces three distinct blends. Each represents an expression of Old World tradition featuring the three greatest grapes of Bordeaux: cabernet sauvignon for the powerful and bold La Joie, merlot for the elegant and graceful Le Muse, and cabernet franc for the complex and structured Le Desir.
