Fodor's Review:

French-owned Domaine Chandon claims one of Yountville's prime pieces of real estate, on a knoll west of downtown where whimsical sculptures sprout out of the lawn and ancient oaks shade the winery. Tours of the sleek, modern facilities are available for $7, but the highlight is a tasting. The top-quality sparklers are made using the méthode champenoise, which means, among many other things, that the bottles are "riddled," or laboriously turned by hand, over a period of weeks to collect the sediment. To complete the decadent experience, you can order hors d'oeuvres to accompany the wines in the tasting room.

Cost: Tasting $10-$20
Open: May-Dec., daily 10-6; Jan.-Apr., weekdays 10-5, weekends 10-6; tours May-Dec., Mon.-Thurs. 11, 1, 3, and 5, Fri.-Sun., 11, noon, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5; Jan.-Apr., weekdays 11, 1, and 3, weekends 11, 1, 3, and 5
