Le paysage magnifique s’harmonise bien avec un verre de vin. Des attractions célèbres comme le Yosemite National Park et Lake Tahoe offrent des exemples époustouflants du milieu naturel abondant de la Californie, et en continuant un peu plus loin sur la route, vous trouverez des vignobles dans les Sierra Foothills qui servent une grande variété de vins aux arômes enivrants. Épicentre de la ruée vers l’or de la Californie, cette région a attiré des milliers d’immigrants qui cherchaient fortune dans les mines – et qui ont laissé leurs vignes derrière eux. La région est toujours parsemée de villages fantômes pour nous rappeler le Wild West.
Details: The Oldest & Largest California Grape Stomp must go on during the Covid-19 Pandemic. 400 Stomp Teams will compete using Zoom Online Event Services.
