The Sleeping Giant experience

Chris purchased this 12-acre estate in 2006, and constructed a spectacular winery designed for our guests to enjoy tasting with vineyard views at almost every angle. Tour the estate with a glass in hand, then relax in our tasting room that offers picturesque views of the Tuscan-like rolling hills of Carneros.
