"With its 240-acre biodynamic Mineral Springs Ranch farm and vineyard near Carlton, Soter Vineyard’s connection to and reverence for the land is evident in its nuanced, thoughtful pinot noirs and traditional-method sparkling wines. This ethos is also front-and-center in the winery’s hospitality, with the ranch’s stately tasting room overlooking the grounds from its hilltop perch swaddled by trees and vineyards. But it’s not just the wines that evoke a sense of place; the farm’s regenerative spirit continues in the farm-to-table Provisions tasting menu, with nearly all ingredients grown or raised on-site, like chickens that once served as pest control and seasonal greens. Open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Soter requires reservations for the Provisions tasting, which includes wine pairings, as well as for the signature tasting flight." - Zoe Baillargeon, Brooke Jackson-Glidden
