Zinfandel Village
Zinfandel Village, opened in 1972, is the first of the villages. This first year village currently houses residents in singles, four and nine person suites. Completely renovated in 1997, the buildings are named for grapes found in the local six-county area; Barbera, Chardonnay, Flora, Riesling, Semillon, and Traminer. Traminer is home to a substance free environment.
The Housing Office, Dining Hall, Zinfandel Marketplace, mailboxes, and the Harvest Room are located in the central quad for this village. Within the village is a heated pool, sauna, recreational fields, study lounge, computer lab, and meeting rooms. Each building also has barbecue cookers for the residents to use.
