California - Wine Country

Frank Family Vineyards

A Karen Brown Recommendation

Four miles north of Beringer, turn right off Hwy 29 onto Larkmead Lane to visit the Frank Family Vineyards (1091 Larkmead Lane, Calistoga, CA 94515). A vineyard has been on this spot since 1884. The main building was refurbished with local sandstone in 1906 and the resulting sturdy edifice is considered an archetype of the local wine country. Owners Richard Frank and Koemer Rombauer purchased the property from the Hans Kornell company, which is famous for its sparkling wines, and five types are still crafted in the champagne style, though nowadays the focus of the winery has shifted to the production of a superb range of still red and white wines. Take the light-hearted complimentary tour with Dennis and learn the importance of bra size and vibrators to the industry today Tasting is free of charge. Open 10 am to 5 pm. 800-574-9463 or 707-942-0859, www.frankfamilyvineyards.com.
