Located behind our seventeen-room historic Rhine House, the sensor garden is a verdant teaching venue for people who want to deepen their perception of wine. Our wine educators consider it a scratch-and-sniff playground, a compendium of smells and textures that help them make wine components more vivid for our guests.
Beringer Vineyards has been featured in a richly photographed cookbook, Gather, showcasing thirteen of California’s most ambitious winery culinary gardens and the fresh, wine-friendly dishes they inspire. In more than 60 delicious recipes, Gather delivers the finest of California’s wine country to your door, demonstrating the creative ways that wineries use their garden bounty to please their guests and complement their wines.
