Irish Vineyards - Wineries on Waymarking.com

In 1998, the Irish family left the Valley in pursuit of their dreams, hoping to find a quaint location where they could raise their children and build a winery. The small town of Vallecito had both, and the historic Batten house became the foundation on which this dream would grow. The Batten farmhouse, built in 1867, offered the family a new beginning, and the 8.3 acres was the perfect place to plant grapes and start their winery.

There are various wines available for tasting for free, and a $5 charge for additional wines. If you make a purchase your $5 go towards the sale of the wine.
