A courtyard within a vernacular landscape
        A vernacular landscape surrounds this winery set within the vineyards of the Carneros district.  Visitors enter the tasting room courtyard through a poplar hedgerow that provides a vegetative scrim for the larger production building beyond.  Building and landscape design are woven together to create an inviting indoor/outdoor wine tasting experience.  A fountain is a sparkling entry focus while linear fire pits warm and enliven the outdoor seating areas.  Corten steel pickets form a transparent edge to the court, allowing the landscape of perennial grasses and lavender to continue visually into the private garden areas beyond.
