Ever since Therese’s visit in 2017 we have sent several of our Southern Napa friends to the Hendry Ranch for an unbelievable vineyard tour and wine tasting with George Hendry himself. Nowadays, the experience has been adapted to comply with Covid-19 safe practices mandated by the state of California. You can still visit the winery, by appointment only, and you can always purchase their wines from us to continue supporting our friends in the Napa Valley!
