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?"

"Founder Robert Jones purchased Firefall's El Dorado County estate vineyards with the dream of honoring his grandfather's wine growing legacy. Committed to sustainable farming, the year-round nurturing of each vine culminates in hand harvested grapes that are fermented and aged with the lightest possible touch to create wines expressing a sense of place and distinction in the bottle."

"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."

"In 1987, Argyle was founded by pioneering vintner Rollin Soles, with a belief that the cool-climate of Oregon’s Willamette Valley was ideal for producing sparkling wines. Our winemaking program now includes sparkling wines, Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs and Rieslings, which have earned acclaim for their elegance, vineyard-driven character and uncommon ageability. "

"Crafting elegant, sensuous and age worthy wines for those who view the pairing of wine and food essential to their lifestyle and well being is what Winderlea is all about. Our focus is on making small lots of Pinot noir and Chardonnay that show the best characteristics of each vineyard. Hand crafted with minimal intervention and the modest use of new French oak barrels, our food friendly wines are classic in style."

"Belledor Vineyards, located in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, produces estate grown Italian, Spanish and French varietals. Founded in 2015, the history of Belledor’s land dates back to the 1850s amid the Gold Rush era. As European immigrants flocked to Amador for gold, family-owned wineries began to spring up. Today, Belledor continues the tradition of a family vineyard, creating small-batch wines that offer a distinct sense of place and embrace the history of Amador."
