Trivia question.

What is the name of the mini vineyard found in Disney's California Adventure?

Answer. Golden Vine Winery. The venue first opened on February 8, 2001, initially presented by the Robert Mondavi Family. Disney took over operations on October 1, 2001. On December 14, 2001, the Wine Country Trattoria opened, replacing the Wine Country Market. As you stroll through this charming area, you'll be transported to Northern California’s Napa Valley, with rows of grapevines, a stunning arbor, and winery buildings that give the appearance of stone construction. Enjoy a wine-tasting at Mendocino Terrace, savor an Italian-inspired meal at Wine Country Trattoria, or, if you're a Magic Key holder, head upstairs to relax with signature cocktails and scenic views at the reimagined lounge. Alternatively, you can simply unwind and soak in the atmosphere at the Sonoma Terrace.
