Our Story

ABOUT US

Celebrating 90 Years of Making Wine

For three generations, family-owned Wooden Valley Winery has been producing award-winning wines from the Suisun Valley appellation, a pristine winegrowing region nestled between two coastal mountain ranges southeast of Napa Valley. Our family shares a strong connection to this land and an unrelenting commitment to improving the way we farm our vineyards and craft our wines. Over the years, our experience in the fields has helped us produce an exceptional selection of varietals from rootstocks perfectly suited to the region’s microclimates. Taking time to share food and wine with family and friends has always been a part of our family’s heritage. We warmly invite you to visit our winery and tasting room to sample our wines, learn more about our history, and experience for yourself some old-fashioned Lanza family hospitality.

Our Vineyards

In addition to producing fine wines from the Suisun Valley Appellation, our family also grows grapes for winemakers who use our fruit to create their own fine wine. It’s rewarding to see how well our grapes have been received by winemaking experts from all over the country. When they call, they want to know every detail you can imagine about our vineyard blocks, clones, bunch density and the weather leading up to harvest. I think they appreciate our years of experience and attention to detail. If you’re considering buying wine grapes, we encourage you to visit our winery. There’s just something special about walking the vineyards in person-you get that connection with the land that my family experiences every day. It’s a deep connection that allows us to match the varietal to the unique terroir of each vineyard block for perfect balance in the fruit and optimum yield.
