As promised on my previous blog, here are some of the photos I took at the Korbel Champagne tour. The tour was free as well as the four sample. It started with the guide explaining the location and then we were seated in a room to watch a video of how it all started up to the present. It was perfect way to do a tour inside as it was 113 degrees outside. After the video we were taken to different rooms of the winery where they have a lot of historical items, photos and memorabilia. The most important part of the tour was at the end where we get to sample the Korbel Champagne. It started with their original which was the Natural. I have to say it's a bit too dry for me. The last one was their sweet type and for me that was the best. It was served cold and on a hot day it was perfect. Jeff had a sip and I drank the rest. After the tasting we headed to their Deli/Cafe where we were treated to a nice lunch courtesy of our friend's nephew. The drive home was a little stop and go and it seem to take forever. I did not want to forget to mention that the drive to the Casino the day before was much more pleasant as we saw a lot of the different wineries that we recognized the name. We did not stop to do wine tasting but it was just great to see the majority of the big wineries such as:
- Robert Mondavi
- Beringer
- Inglenook
- Arrowood
- Clos Du Bois
- Kendall-Jackson
- Sutter Home
- Opus One
- Domaine Chandon
- Ravenswood
