Winery
Koehler Winery is one of our favorite stops along the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail. This location features multiple outdoor settings that are perfect for small groups and sunny afternoons. The estates impressive views are beautiful year round. To prove this point we feature the Koehler Estate in the month of December. Enjoy a signature flight ($15) or premium flight ($20). This location hosts food trucks on Saturday evenings during warm months (April-September). Outside food and pets on a leash are welcome in patio areas. This winery also has emus and Barbados sheep located on the far end of the property. These interesting creatures will pose for Instagram shots but hands and objects should remain behind the fence. This portion of the wine trail can attract large crowds. If you arrive at this location and cannot find a spot at the bar we recommend buying wine by the glass. White wine is $12 a glass and red wine is $15.

Medium ruby in color, the wine entices one with a subtle bouquet of fresh strawberries, cedar box, and tea leaves. Further inspection of this medium bodied red reveals pomegranate on the palate punctuated by moderate acidity. The wine finishes with whispers of cherry cobbler, cinnamon stick, and dried currants.
