A winery! In Las Vegas! I've lived here for almost 3 years and had no idea there is a winery about 45 minutes into the desert.  Pahrump Valley Winery is a fairly short scenic drive from the strip.  There isn't much else to do in Pahrump itself, but the winery is amazing and definitely worth the drive. 

They have small but beautiful grounds to enjoy and a wonderful restaurant attached to the winery.  If you're a local, the winery is a perfect little romantic day trip.  If you're a tourist & you love wine, plan an excursion - you won't regret it.  You can get up close and personal with the vines or take a tour of the winery.  

Both the tour and tastings are free! 

Unfortunately, we missed the tour but now we have a reason to go back.  Actually, the only reason we need is wine!
