ART AND WINE PAIRING AT THE ESTATE
Visit the winery and enjoy the work of talented local artists.
When you think of Michel-Schlumberger you think of wine, nature and beauty. Once you pass through our gates you know 
you've entered a magical place. Our organically farmed vineyards are nestled in the western hillsides of Dry Creek Valley allowing us spectacular views. A reflecting pool graces our serene courtyard. A 300 year old oak tree spreads it's branches above our Spanish Mission Style Estate and our organic gardens. Our guests love to walk the grounds and the hillsides taking in the natural beauty that surrounds them. It's no surprise that we're now adding to that beauty with an Artist Series in our Estate Salon. Our Tasting Salon will double as an art gallery with local artists paintings adorning the walls.
