Site 2 - Victoriaâs Cellars Winery & RV Camp
in Cool Cabin on a Charming Estate, CaliforniaWe pulled up in our retro Airstream RV and instantly knew we'd made the right decision to spend the weekend here. The owners and folks that manage the estate are lovely people who made sure we we're settled in and acclimated before giving us the run of the place. We fell in love immediately!
The small private vineyard is beautiful and the lush landscape was just what we were looking for. As we sat under the covered patio, having dinner that we cooked in well appointed the outdoor kitchen, I looked up to see the most amazing of california sunsets, glowing with reds, oranges, purple and blue hues down at the end of the valley. What a way to end a great day!
We woke up in the morning to a little bit of fog or marine layer that hung above the palm trees and horse paddock, just as the sun peaked over the ridge that borders the property to the south. The fog burned off quickly as we eased into our first full day here. The winery and grounds have been created to have a park like feel that is both beautiful and naturalistic, imbuing the property with a kind of tranquility and peacefulness.
Our dogs, Bella and Lola enjoyed playing and carousing with the owners friendly blond labradors that run around the property all day. And that night, we had s'mores and shared a bottle of wine by the huge fire pit as we looked at a sky completely filled with stars. We regret having to ever leave such a place, but by the time we got home on Sunday afternoon, we were all a bunch of very happy (hip) campers ready for the week ahead.
We will be back again and again. What a terrific experience!
