Discover San Martin: Winegrowing and Aviation

Miramar Vineyards combines a rural setting with a tasting room and bocce; Tank House adds specific visiting hours and a family connection to the wine-related attractions. The Wings of History Air Museum focuses on aviation. Opening hours and access requirements are also relevant when planning your visit.

Winegrowing, scenery, and visiting hours

Miramar Vineyards is set on ten rural acres in the eastern foothills of San Martin, California. The tasting room offers panoramic views, and bocce is also available. This brings together several distinct features: the rural setting, the views from the room, and a specific activity. When planning your trip, you can consider these features separately rather than treating them as the same characteristic of the winery.

Lion Ranch Vineyards & Winery has a different focus: the winery specializes in Rhône- and Provence-style wines. This style offers a separate point of comparison alongside Miramar’s rural setting, panoramic views, and bocce. If wine is an important part of your stay, this distinction can help you choose: Miramar is noted for its setting, views, and bocce, while Lion Ranch is noted for its specialization in these wine styles.

Tank House Winery offers specific visiting hours to help with planning. The tasting room is open Fridays from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Check the opening hours before setting out so your plans fit the listed times. Tank House’s name and label also honor the Caviglia family’s long agricultural history. This brings together practical information about visiting hours and a connection to family history. On weekends, the tasting room opens two hours earlier than it does on Fridays—a difference to consider when choosing your visiting day.

Aviation history and access requirements

The Wings of History Air Museum is dedicated to aviation history through education, preservation, restoration, and flight operations. Among its listed exhibits is a full-scale, accurate, non-flying reproduction of the original 1903 Wright Flyer. Important to note: it is a full-size reproduction, not an aircraft capable of flight. The museum thus connects a specific object with its mission to share and preserve aviation history.

Keep the access requirement in mind when planning a stay at CordeValle. Access to CordeValle and its amenities, including restaurants, the spa, and the golf course, is available to guests staying at the hotel or to club members. This condition also applies to the facilities listed. Plan to visit CordeValle only if you are staying at the hotel or are a club member.
