Middle-of-nowhere Marimar Estates specializes in all-organic Pinot – seven different kinds – and Spanish varietals. The hacienda-style hilltop tasting room has a knockout vineyard-view terrace, good for picnics. Also consider tapas-and-wine pairings ($55) and the guided tour, which includes a bottle ($95). Bottles are $49 to $59.
