RESERVATIONS REQUIRED - Reserve by emailing rich@laleure ineyards.com We ask that you leave your text number so we may reach you for any unforseen cancellations. Please be sure to let us know if you can't make it, so that we have room for others and are not kept waiting for you.
Waterproof footgear is highly recommended. There are several short but steep inclines, so hikers be aware before you set out.

Bring a picnic lunch or purchase snacks, and join us afterwards at the winery. No charge for the hike, hike at your own risk. Check website home page for any cancellations or changes (Hikes are self identification for flora and fauna, no formal naturalist except for our leaders and fellow hikers).
