From north of Camarillo:
Take Highway 101 South to the Los Posas Road Exit in Camarillo, and at the end of the exit. At Cawelti Road, turn left (there will be a sign for the campus). Cawelti Road will end at Lewis Road. At that point, turn right onto Lewis Road. The campus will be on your left a short distance down Lewis Road.

Take Highway 101 North to the Santa Rosa/Pleasant Valley Exit, and turn left at the end of the exit. At the intersection of Pleasant Valley Road and Lewis Road, turn left onto Lewis Road. The campus will be on your left, approximately one mile from the intersection.
** Remember that agricultural roads (like Lewis Road and Cawelti Road) have a speed limit of 50 mph. **
As you drive into the campus from the entrance on Lewis Road, make sure that you obey the speed limit of 35 mph (the police are vigilant defenders of this limit due to several collisions vehicles have had with deer). You will pass a road to the new faculty/staff housing and then cross a bridge. At this point, you will be on campus (with a speed limit of 20 mph). Follow the signs to parking and to the site of the event.

“Billed as a “small winery with a big personality,” this winery lives up to its reputation. It is very fun and blends California and Australian sensibilities. This winery was featured in the movie “Sideways.”
On a practical side, this winery has a healthy variety of well-received wines in a broad range of prices to suit almost anybody’s palette and wallet.
Although their Chardonnay and Shiraz will make any wine lover happy – rumor has it their desert wines are top notch and not to be missed. Seated on a gorgeous tract of land, this winery is a must see on your travels.”
