What happens if the fire season makes it impossible to stay? What is your policy for refund due to "acts of God"?

Things To Do

For teenage children, they can rent bikes from the bike shop down the street and go riding along the vineyards. Some of the wineries are pretty cool for kids to tour, such as Castello di Amorosa (impressive castle and medieval rooms) and Sterling Vineyards (You can ride the tram to the hilltop and enjoy the great view).
