Rustico Farm & Cellars' heritage log home, originally a late 1800's bunkhouse to 19 miners at the Sally Silver mine two and one-half hours away was carefully dismantled and moved a couple of logs at a time to its present hillside site. It was then painstakingly rebuilt and topped with a unique sod roof, cut from the neighboring mountainside
The home was recently featured in a western movie
Here you find one of the most interesting tasting rooms and an Art Gallery
Even a winemaker has laundry to do. But It was actually part of the staging for a movie scene been shot on location at the winery
