Ceago del Lago, a beautiful organic winery on Clear Lake
My boyfriend and I took a weekend trip to Lake County, just north of Napa County. We stayed next to Clear Lake, in the town of Lakeport and made a trip to Ceago, a winery I had read about in Sunset Magazine. Clear Lake is the largest enclosed freshwater lake in California, with beautiful wildlife, and a haven for birds and fish.
Ceago was stunning. Beautiful Spanish villa architecture, a 200 acre plus winery, all organic, and a vegetable garden, with lots to choose from. This was created by Jim Fetzer, the son of the famous Fetzer wine brand. The best was the fact the winery is on the water, and you can boat in from the lake. Apparently even the Sierra Club promotes this place as sustainable and environmentally friendly, all pluses in my book!
It’s about a 3 hour drive north of San Francisco, a good distance as a weekend trip. I found the area to be not as touristy as Napa or Sonoma, and still a “hidden” destination for Bay Area folks. There’s plenty to do with local wineries and farms, and Clear Lake State Park with a beach, camping on the water, and hikes.
