Brunch at the San Antonio Winery


SAN ANTONIO WINERY


Yesterday we ventured out to LA to have brunch at the San Antonio Winery and to see a exhibit at the Pico House by Olvera St on hidden Italian history in LA.
We have never been to the San Antonio Winery and Restaurant before and it really is a hidden GEM. It was hard to find sine it is down this industrial rode at the very end of the street.
Gabe said yeah we had to summons the invisible man and talk to the singing bush to get there.
Anyways we called up Josh and Vickie and Evie to come join us for brunch. The food was soo good I had the mushroom ravioli with a glass of cab.
The inside of the restaurant was full of Christmas decorations and lights. This place was like a museum. They had pictures and stories about the winery posted on the wall and a big gift shop, and a wine tasting area with tons of different wines for sale and the distillery and the restaurant.
At brunch they had a man playing the guitar it was very nice. After brunch we did some wine tasting at the tasting room. I ended up buying this AWESOME Pink Sparkling Moscato Rose.
Anyways that was a Teaser to what I will be experiencing in Solvang next weekend! I can't wait for my weekend away wine tasting.
After we left we went to the Pico House to see the exhibit than finally afterwards it was back on our way home.
