Taste of the Tour with Malibu Family Wines

I’ve never had a reason to visit the Malibu area until I learned there were wineries in the area.  Driving through the narrow country canyon roads of Malibu, I discovered a wilderness in this metropolitan area.  Who knew Malibu  was more than just a famous beach where famous people enjoy the sun. 

What a wonderful day I had attending the ‘Taste of the Tour’ hosted by Malibu Family Wines.  The weather was sunny, warm but not too hot, a fabulous selection of food and Malibu Wines flowing for all their guests.  The event was Amgen Tour of California and to help benefit Amgen’s Breakaway from Cancer. 

The setting at Saddlerock Ranch was perfect.  In one area was a large open grassy area with scattered trees on the side for those who wanted shade.  Surrounding the large grassy lawn you could find restaurants serving up some of the best food around.  At the end of the grassy lawn a huge JumboTron streaming live the Amgen bicycle race through downtown Los Angeles.  People were having a wonderful time enjoying the wine, food, DJ, watching the race and just enjoying a beautiful California day.

Saddlerock Ranch hosts many wedding and private parties.  And why not with the rolling hills surrounded by vineyards, the small lakes with horses playing and even a small zoo of various animals. 

If you live in the Los Angeles area, give Malibu wines a try.
