At Jarvis, it’s what you don’t see that’s most impressive. While the approach and the views from the property are nothing to shrug about, the estate is really set apart by what’s underground: the entire winery. Fermentation tanks, offices, restrooms, everything but the vines themselves. All production and administration happens in the 45,000 square feet tunneled under the Vaca mountain range. A natural stream creates a waterfall and rambles through the caves. Bring a sweater for your tasting, which will—you guessed—take place underground.
