Laguna Canyon Winery: In 2003 construction was completed and premium grapes were shipped directly to Laguna Beach from the Napa and Sonoma regions. While tasting the wines, you will be standing in the middle of the winery where crushing, pressing, fermentation, barrel aging, blending and bottling all take place. Their wine-making equipment, including the bottling line, stainless steel tanks, oak barrels and wine press, were flown in from Italy in 2003 and is still used today to process the crafted wine. You will enjoy five flights of their premium wines, plus crackers. Their motto is 'Blending is Better' as the winery is known for their unique and interesting blends showing layers of complexity with each sip. Since they opened, they have won numerous awards every year from the largest and most comprehensive California wine competition in the world at the Orange County Fair.
