Discover The Wineries

"The Beaux Frères story began in 1986 when Michael G. Etzel, then a wine salesman in Colorado Springs, embarked on a road trip to Oregon with his young family after reading an enticing review of an ‘83 Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley. They took a whimsical detour to check out a foreclosed 88-acre pig farm about 20 minutes from their destination and, upon seeing the idyllic hillside, cute little bungalow, and lush pasture at the top of the dirt road, began to wonder: Could a quiet, wholesome farm life growing grapes for the blossoming local wine scene be possible?"

"Four Lanterns resides on 35 acres on the west side of Paso Robles in the formidable Willow Creek District. This area, renowned for hot days, cool nights and soil riddled with calcareous stone, provides a perfect environment for making exceptional wines. Jackie’s Vineyard, located in the Templeton Gap District, is the location where their Bordeaux varieties grow."

"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."

"They decided that something new and unique was needed in the Lodi area. After all, there are already so many wineries and wine bars in the area. The concept of The Lounge was to create an atmosphere where family and friends could enjoy a variety of the area’s best wines. If you believe in small producers and the extraordinary quality of wine they make, then The Lounge is for you!"

“It’s time to throw some color into the Willamette Valley. At Artist Block, we strive to bring ingenuity, inclusion, and inspiration to the Dundee Hills. I want Artist Block to be the future of wine. A place to be shared with a group of people from diverse backgrounds with one thing in common: a thirst for creative expression.”

"Thomas Allen’s wine grapes are grown in Lodi/Woodbridge, the Sacramento Delta, and the Sierra Foothills. The region enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with warm dry summers and cool moist winters for ideal growing conditions."
