Napa Valley may be known for its great wineries and rolling vineyards, but it can also be a tourist trap. If you're looking for something more low-key, head to Southern California's Paso Robles, where wine culture is taking on a new life.
In fact, if you've been longing to trade in your nine-to-five desk job for a chance to live out your oenophile dreams, an entire winery has just hit the market.
The $2.49 million property offers 7.5 prime acres of vineyards, a quaint three-bedroom farmhouse, and an on-site winery, complete with a tasting room for visitors.
It's prime time to buy in the burgeoning wine country, as more winemakers and tourists are pouring into the region. If wine isn't your thing, Paso Robles is putting its grapes to other uses, too. Fine spirits like brandy, rye whiskey, and even cinnamon hooch are being made there, according to the LA Times.
As the listing agent points out, buying the property doesn't mean committing to the life of a distiller. The operations can easily be leased out to experts in the area, so you can enjoy the spectacular vineyards and mountain views without the accompanying labor. Now that's something worth drinking to.
