Korbel's Halloween Happy Hour

Bid the autumnal sun goodnight from the vineyard as you sip and ponder ghost stories.

THE SUN HAS A KNACK FOR SETTING... behind all sorts of landscapes. (Er, spoiler alert?) It matters not if the distant vista to the west of the sunset's viewer is a mountain range, or a field, or a wave-churny ocean; our nearest star is still going to do the whole end-of-the-day, "see everyone tomorrow nighty-night" thing when the moment calls for that particular eternal act to happen.

Doing wine country over Halloween weekend? Consider a stop by the libation icon's Guerneville spread, if only to bid the sun goodnight from a picturesque vineyard.
