It has been an incredible summer so far at Desert Wind and we are just getting started! We have had the most fun welcoming back our guests and proudly serving our newest wine releases at the Desert Wind Tasting Room.
We are now open daily for wine flights and tours! The Kitchen at Desert Wind, our on-site restaurant, is now open daily for lunch service. The Inn & Spa at Desert Wind, our overnight guests suites and day spa are just nestled upstairs above the tasting room, are now both accepting reservations! And all that is just the beginning!
Our upcoming special events are sure to satisfy, featuring cooking classes, vineyard tours, live music, and sunset dining. We are delighted to invite you to rediscover wine country with all Desert Wind has to offer. We have something for everyone! See you soon!
Cheers from all of us at Desert Wind
