"We thoroughly enjoyed our private tasting at Turnbull! Alex was a phenomenal host and guide for the experience and we learned so much about the wine making process and Turnbull’s offerings. The setting for a private tasting is so lovely and even includes some charcuterie offerings. This was the first location my husband and I liked every single wine we tried and we will highly recommend a visit to our friends!"
