Heading South~ exit Imola and make the Immediate left but quickly get into the right hand lane to turn on Golden Gate Drive.
Pass the Park -n- Ride on the left and Highway patrol on the right.
Continuing South you’ll pass Southgate Storage on your left, then a big warehouse space called Barrel Care, there are a ton of metal barrel racks out front. Directly after that is Walsh – lots of red and white trucks.
Slow down and continue to look right between the Barrel Care and Walsh Vineyard Management there is a gate I’ll leave open.
Park at the gate and walk in to your left about 100-200 yards ~ you’ll see the beehives up to your left.
I’ll put up some sort of sign at the Right between Walsh and Barrel Care.
