Alpen Cellars
Alpen
Cellars, established on a family ranch in the spring of 1984, is
situated in a picturesque mountain valley at the foot of towering
craggy peaks in the rugged Trinity Lake region of Trinity County,
California. The combination of high elevation
and favorable microclimate produces ideal conditions for
growing early maturing vinifera grapes such as White Riesling,
Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the four varieties to which
the ranch vineyard is planted. We also feature two additional
varietals, Pinot Gris and Merlot, which are grown in select sites
elsewhere in Trinity County.Contact: winemaker@alpencellars.com

Meredith Family Vineyards
"Meredith
Family Vineyards is family owned and operated and focuses on producing
rich, smooth, drinkable wines. The first vines were planted in
1986 on the hillsides of the historical Olsen Homestead in the Hyampom
valley, located in the coastal mountains of Northern California.
Warmdays, cold nights, mountain soils, and low fruit yeilds conspire to render small berries with scant juice and intense flavors from vines tended and picked by hand."
Meredith Family Vineyards also features a Wine Tasting room in downtown historic Weaverville.
