Whispering Meadows Alpaca
Close to three area wineries, this farm shop is a convenient stop for affordable, and different gift solutions. Environmentally friendly and non-itchy alpaca fibers are softer and warmer than sheep’s wool, perfect for winter’s chill. Plus, because alpaca wool is naturally wicking, both the medium-weight socks and the felt inserts are surprisingly perfect for sweaty summer feet. Choose a gift of socks, gloves, fuzzy stuffed animal toys, or even beautiful yarn for the crafter in your life.

The challenge will be choosing from the huge selection of over 400 varieties of glass-bottled sodas. Don’t overlook the eclectic mix of candy for that sweet-tooth or sour-loving friend. When you finish shopping, gift yourself by having a special nostalgic treat.
