Thomas Kruse Winery - Gilroy, California - Wineries on Waymarking.com

This prize-winning winery is a home and a business. From their website:

"We welcome visitors to our special place. Our small winery is nestled up
against the east foothills of Gilroy along a rural country road. The setting is friendly and relaxed. You can bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the quiet peaceful surroundings. You can taste wine and take an informative tour. Tom takes delight in showing folks the vineyard, and, depending on the time of year, he explains pruning, bud break, verasion (when the grapes turn color) or harvesting.

In the fall the grapes are picked and the wine is made. As winter approaches, activity centers around getting the finished wine into barrels for aging and bottling some of the previous years’ wines. And because we are small and low tech, it’s easy to relate to the whole winemaking process here, just like it has been made for centuries. Some customers even stay and help us with the bottling or the labeling."
