Treasure of the week - Carivintas Winery


Normally for the treasure of week I will talk about a bottle of wine, but I couldn’t this time because the treasure of the week is a tasting room in Solvang called Carivintas Winery a place where they blend wine with Philanthropy.
I found this winery while flipping through the pages of Wine Country This Month while at a winery we were visiting and what sparked my curiosity was a wine bottle labeled with picture of a dog …..and to an animal lover this was a place that needed to be checked out. So we headed into Solvang.  
Instantly I was impressed!! Not only by the fact that you could bring your pet….but that they are affiliated with non-profit groups such as Best Friends Animal Society, The HSUS, and  many local animal shelters around the county. A portion of their profits are donated to these groups every year. 

The dogs and cats that have been rescued by these organizations are featured on their wine bottles and their story are on the back of the bottle and the stories are so heart felt!! 


They believe in their causes and this place just nails both their love of animals and their wine!!!!
