This 171-acre Diamond Mountain stunner is basically a real medieval castle (yes, really: it took 15 years to build) where you can taste nearly 30 different wines, explore a dungeon full of historical artifacts, and pretend you're royalty for an afternoon. Fair warning: it's packed on weekends, but totally worth the crowd.
