Trail Two · The Quiet Five Miles
Masia de la Vinya
A small Spanish-styled estate up its own hill, with Garnacha and Albariño on the list and quiet on the terrace.
You have to mean to come here. It is a deliberate turn off a road that is already the valley’s quiet one, and that filter is most of why the terrace stays peaceful on days when the main trail is heaving. Spanish varieties are still thin on the ground locally, which makes the list worth the detour by itself.

Before you drive
This page is an independent guide, not the winery. Hours, tasting fees and
reservation rules change season to season — and several rooms are
reservation-only on weekends. Check Masia de la Vinya’s own site or call before
building the day around it.
