Winery Dinosaurs
It's as if the family that owns the vineyard decided "You like dinosaurs? Wait until you get a load of this!" and are putting up hundreds of semi-permanent giant sculptures. They will be lit up beginning in October when it gets dark. They are discussing both walk-through and drive-thru possibilities. It's mind-boggling the number they already have up. It includes a little yellow submarine and it's big brother, sharks, castles, pyramids, not to mention a dragon and a phoenix.

In addition to the already noted dinosaurs here, there are even more standing in a little patch of woods across the dirt road. Although some look like they're in storage, others are arranged in scenes.

They made for some great funny photos, and the wine was good too!
