Goat Yoga and Wine Tasting (No Kidding)

July 11, 2017
Walking into Emerson Vineyards on a cool May afternoon, we didn’t know what to expect. The long rows of green grape vines didn’t really strike us as unusual. If anything the Monmouth estate looked ready for the summer wine season. But this wasn’t your typical wine tasting. We were here for Goat Yoga wine tasting. And that’s pretty darn unique. More

Road Trip: Estacada
