Wine tasting at Cedar Crest in Manton

Shop Local Saturday sent us into the local hills looking for gifts. We found this great vineyard and winery in Manton, Cedar Crest.

Kim offered us tastes of their fine local wines. Everything we tasted was excellent, but Al’s Field Blend, a big red, really stood out.

There were other gourmet samples, and other local gifts to choose from, like this Lucero Olive oil. Love the Lemon. And the Garlic.

Despite well publicized recent forest fires nearby, Manton is still alive and kicking. There is a Tehama winery trail for you to follow. The fall colors were really spectacular last weekend.

Images from the Cedar Crest grounds. A lovely setting in the Fall. Below, Al’s field vines, enjoying the cool nights and volcanic soil.
Just head up the hill to Shingletown, and turn south on Wilson Hill road. Like any small local business, they could always use a few more friends, so link here to the Cedar Crest Facebook page and give it a Like. Wine country, Manton style.
