A short detour that holds a 4 cache series and then brings you right back to the Highway. This series focuses on the 3 main industries of central California: vinyards,cattle, and agriculture. Nice short drive and great views.
This cache will bring you past the Delicato grape crushing facility.
Delicato Vineyards, Inc. is one of the largest family-owned and operated winemakers in California, where 90 percent of the U.S. wine is produced. The privately held company cultivates over 10,000 acres of vineyards in the state's central valley and coastal regions and, between its two wineries, it turns out about 20 million gallons of wine each year. Annual sales are estimated at $110 million. Starting as a Prohibition-era farm that grew grapes for home winemakers, Delicato has grown successful as a "winemaker's winemaker," contracting to make and sell bulk wine for other brands to bottle under their own labels. The practice continues to be the mainstay of Delicato's business. Starting in the mid-1990s, however, the winery began an earnest push toward producing and selling wine under three of its own brands, and a number of its releases have won awards. Among Delicato's vineyard holdings is the 8,100-acre San Bernabe Vineyard in Monterey County, which claims the distinction of being the largest single grape-growing property in the world.
