The Zin House

Set among the vines at Lowe Family Wine Co., The Zin House is a long-lunch haven where every dish is crafted from produce grown in the surrounding gardens or sourced locally. The set menu changes with the seasons, but the ambience—relaxed, scenic, and quietly indulgent—remains timeless.

Pipeclay Pumphouse

Located on the grounds of Robert Stein Winery, Pipeclay Pumphouse offers refined paddock-to-plate dining. The combination of fresh local ingredients, stunning vineyard views, and warm, attentive service makes it a perfect choice for couples seeking both elegance and comfort.
