Discover The Wineries

"I like to make wines that are elegant and have good balance. My style of wine has forward fruit that carries to the mid-palate and a long sustained finish. I like to use the oak to enhance the varietal identity of the wine and not mask it. Wines that are jammy and alcoholic are not my style."

"t Bumgarner Winery, nestled in the heart of the picturesque El Dorado American Viticultural Area (AVA), our family is committed to crafting exceptional wines that encapsulate the essence of our unique terroir. As a first-generation, family winery, our mission is simple yet profound: to create wines of unparalleled quality that reflect our passion for the land and the grape, staying true to the varietal character."

"Nicolas-Jay Estate is one of the premier wineries in the Willamette Valley, with an inviting tasting room for wine connoisseurs and novices alike. Built into the hillside of Oregon’s wine country, the facility allows gravity flow during harvest, and a twelve-person sorting line for the meticulous sorting of fruit that Jean-Nicolas has employed as winemaker at Domaine Méo-Camuzet."

With 350 acres of vineyard strategically located in several of Napa Valley’s finest growing regions, Markham Vineyards selects grapes from several microclimates to achieve balanced and rich wines. Knowledge and experience are combined with Mother Nature to produce grapes for our award winning wines. Our ranches also allow us to craft the Estate designated wines that are exclusively available in our Visitor Center and provide the basis to create consistent blends each and every vintage.

"Sparks flew in Yosemite during the spring of 1984. Michael’s eyes captured Rhonda’s across a crowded room at the Lodge. Over glasses of wine, conversations were shared, addresses exchanged, and a relationship ensued. Their first home in Fremont overlooked Weibel Vineyards where they dreamed of one day owning their own vineyard. At their second home, also in Fremont, they planted 18 vines. Before these vines reached maturity, they discovered Crane Ridge Vineyards in Livermore Valley. They purchased property with 8037 vines and built their dream home. Wood Family Vineyards winery shortly followed."
