Friends of the Winery
Our Special Friends
The wine business is very social. At Ventana Vineyards we are true social butterflies and like to make friends! These are just a few of the people and web sites that we feel are of value to our customers.
TARPY'S RESTAURANT
After your wine tasting, take a bottle of Ventana next door (complementary corkage) to Tarpy's Roadhouse, a fabulous establishment that has been recognized in Wine Spectator and many other dining guides. Relax in this 1917 Roadhouse and enjoy creative, Five Star American Country Cuisine. The wood-burning grill provides wonderful flavors for wild game, the freshest seafood and prime steaks. Set on five landscaped acres, the patios and extensive gardens provide a refreshing backdrop for hearty sandwiches, vegetarian entrees and tempting salads. Seven private and semi-private rooms are available for banquets, meetings and celebrations. The full bar, award-winning wine list and knowledgeable professional service ensure a terrific dining experience. Reservations are recommended. Tarpy's also offers affordable full-service, off-site catering.
