Please drive slowly on our narrow, winding country road and stay to the right. Be aware of blind curves. Speed limit is 15 mph once you get to the "surface treated" road, about 1 1/2 miles before reaching Ankida.
If planning on visiting the Overlook (about 1/4 mile above the winery) you will need an AWD vehicle to get up the steep, gravely driveway.
