DESCRIPTION: The LangeTwins family, winner of the Leopold Conservation Award, is all about sustainability. This includes stewardship of the Mokelumne River and adjoining lowlands, their vineyards, and their state- of-the-art winery. Join a local naturalist and, Kendra Lange Altnow, on a rare walking tour of their wildlife habitat areas and adjoining vineyards, where you will see a variety of bird species and possibly even some local mammals.

Wine tasting is on your own at the conclusion of the tour. Bring a picnic and sit, surrounded by water features in the outdoor patio by the tasting room.
