While trying to figure out ways to spend our days while the motorhome was in the shop, someone suggested we make a trip out to a local winery, Secret House Vineyards. We did a search in our GPS and it was one of the pre-programed points of interest so we poked the "go to" button and started following the directions - which took us to some dead end back country road. Hmmm, didn't look much like a winery to us. Luckily the phone number was also pre-programmed so we gave them a call and found out this was a common problem among GPS users. The street address of the winery does not quite translate properly on a map. We were given the correct directions and off we went. Once we got there, we realized the GPS had originally taken us to the very back of the vineyard property. If the road had just gone through another couple hundred yards, we would have come out right at the tasting room. 
Ultimately it was worth the effort. We tasted 5 varieties of wine, including their own special concoction "Vinotaboo." They start with pinot noir wine and add a small amount of lingonberry juice, chocolate (right there you know it has to be good) and cinnamon. They make a limited amount so it's only available at the winery.
Another good reason to come back to this area in the future.
