Discover The Wineries

"The Van Ruiten Family Winery is located in Lodi, California, mid-way between the Sierra Foothills and the San Francisco Bay. The estate vineyards, including the infamous Lodi Zinfandel, benefit from the ideal climate influenced by the cool afternoon breezes of the San Joaquin Delta."

"Nestled in the Historic Presidio Neighborhood of Downtown Santa Barbara, our modern tasting room invites you to discover the essence of Santa Barbara County’s acclaimed terroir. With a focus on family-produced wines and single-vineyard selections, we offer pure expressions of the region’s diverse landscapes."

"We first planted Cabernet Sauvignon in Sonoma County in 1972, 12 years before Alexander Valley became an appellation. Back then, there weren’t very many vineyards here, much less opportunities to taste the wine from them. Alexander Valley was planted to prunes and apples and hops, mixed field blends for jug wine; Healdsburg was the Buckle of the Prune Belt; my dad was dreaming big and making wine in the basement. 30 years later, we made the first vintage of wine under our own name – Hawkes – 100% estate Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley, grown and crushed and barreled and bottled by our family."

"Ryme Cellars is a collaboration of husband and wife with old world sensibilities, as well as admiration for California’s terroir and sunny disposition. Our portfolio of wines has grown gradually and organically since 2007, beginning with a single ton of Aglianico. The varieties may be rare or unusual but none of them are a mere curiosity for us. Rather, they represent wines that we love, drink often, and truly believe in the potential for success in their chosen sites."

"Domaine Willamette is Oregon’s first sparkling wine facility that produces world-class méthode traditionnelle sparkling wines with an underground aging cellar at the biodynamically-farmed Bernau Estate Vineyard. The winery offers Oregon-inspired hospitality with wine and food pairings, stunning views, educational tours and beautiful gardens overlooking the Dundee Hills."

"The house Thaddeus built in the mid-1800’s was lived in by family members for more than 100 years, until the late 1970’s. For a brief period, it was used to store the many antiques that had been passed down over the generations. It was also a favorite location for family Halloween Parties. In 2003, the family decided to give the beautiful and historic house a new life as the current office for Wackman Ranch and the Tasting Room and Barrel Cellar for McConnell Estates Winery."
