Wine Down Your Week with Tasting Rooms that Stay Up Late

Area wineries are keeping their doors open a little later, allowing guests to toast the sunset with tastings and live music.  Some offer special dinner options or allow outside food.  On several occasions, I’ve packed a Friday night picnic, and brought it over to Paradise Springs Winery where they have live music.  Take advantage of the extra daylight and check out these local vineyards offering more time for wine:
