Besides fine wines, Chandon boasts a visitor's center and four-star French country restaurant built into the hillside. After the tour you'll be invited to taste at least three Mondavi wines. That is reflected in the architecture of this winery, with its bright pastel sculpture decorating a modern steel building. The focus here is on self-led tours, which offer flexibility for those who want to hit as many wineries in as short of time as possible. The most interesting feature of this winery is the display vineyard, where you can identify and taste the different grapes that are used for St. Supery wines.
Celebrities have their hand in everything, including winemaking.
Driving along 29 north, you'll see the stucco mission-style winery high above on your right. You'll have to turn off the highway, but it's worth it for the gondola ride that takes you up 300-feet, for a panorama of the valley. At the top, the you'll experience the chiming of St. Dunstan's Bells, which were salvaged from a London church.
