"We absolutely had a blast at Heitz! I've a long time fan of Heitz since the first time I had the Trailside Cab and finally decided to pay a visit. The setup was private, intimate with the beautiful view of the vineyard. Joe, the wine curator was so kind and knowledgeable about Heitz which elevated our experience. Aside from the wine, I do also recommend their charcuterie board."
