We had a summer picnic with a bunch of friends at this beautiful winery. We catered our own food, which we paired with Byington's delicious sparkling wine. The warm hospitality of the folks at the winery, the gorgeous California summer afternoon, the roses in bloom, the green hills surrounding us - as perfect as it gets!
