Matetic

Explore the valley on foot, horseback, or bicycle, or visit the family cheese operation (the Matetics make a killer sheep's-milk cheese), and cap the afternoon off with a tour of the winery, a stunning hillside facility with a theatrical oval barrel cellar and a pair of grand tasting rooms with a waterfall. Visitors can taste high-caliber wines like the powerful 2003 EQ Syrah, take rides on cables running through the treetops on the property, milk sheep and learn how to make cheese (there's a small working ranch here as well).
