At Lange Estate Winery & Vineyards in the Dundee hills, the 30-year-old winery will open a Grand Tasting Hall in May. The facility will increase the space available for tastings, as well as offer a chef’s kitchen and space for the wine production to expand. It’s a long way from when the winery’s original tasting room opened in the basement of the owners’ home in 1987. A soft opening is currently underway with tastings offered every day from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
