You and your guests will enjoy private accommodations in the Cove Cottage Suite, and from there, the possibilities are endless in exploring the unique romance of fine wine, farm fresh products and nature’s beauty.

Bart and Daphne Araujo will welcome you with a special wine tasting and dinner on your first night. The next morning, a Farm tour will include a personal exploration of the Heirloom Garden with Master Gardener John Coykendall and also the Dairy and Creamery with Cheesemaker Kristian Holbrook, followed by lunch in the gardens and an afternoon of leisure activities and dinner on your own.

The following day - after a power breakfast - Dwight McCarter will guide a morning hike to a creek side picnic, followed by an afternoon of leisure activity and a Grand Finale Wine Dinner with wines from the Araujo’s cellar, many of which are unavailable at any price.

Fond farewells will follow the next morning, as you and your guests depart from this magical retreat. The magic will linger when you take home your rare Double Magnum of 1993 Araujo Estate “Eisele Vineyard” Cabernet Sauvignon to take home. Designed to age effortlessly, it is a wine just now entering its prime. Showing the typical Eisele richness, this wine has a complex core of currant, berry and minerals. Perhaps the wine of the vintage, it has been called “mind-boggling” for its size, intensity and astonishing finish. A rare beauty, presented in a Double Magnum, an appropriate heirloom to accompany this Araujo and Blackberry Farm experience.
