I'd make this a priority but you must make a reservation. Bear and wine tasting...and the bonus is the grounds are beautiful and they have a mini zoo on site.

Sightseeing

As to sit outside because the ambiance is great. Margaritas, tacos, chips & salsa are a staple. The rest of the food is ok for us but the ambiance is good and it's close to home.
