Wild mustard blooms, depending upon the whim of Mother Nature, from about mid-January through March each year. Brilliant seas of gold blanket hillsides, valleys, and vineyards during this sensational season. Dormant grapevines punctuate the gilded froth in rows and patterns, creating spectacular scenes and attracting artists from far and wide.
