Schweiger Vineyards on Spring Mountain

Schweiger Vineyards on Spring Mountain

Please join us this Thursday April 2nd from 5-8pm for a tasting of Napa Valley’s Schweiger Vineyards. Diana Schweiger will be pouring her Spring Mountain wines paired with Chef Charles Hays’ delicious appetizers.

Diana Schweiger grew up in Sonoma County and remembers the days of visiting her grandparents on the Spring Mountain property before there were vineyards, wineries and a lot of traffic on Spring Mountain Rd.

Schweiger Vineyards is located at a 2,000 ft. elevation at the peak of the Mayacama Mountain range nestled into the heart of St. Helena of the Napa Valley and a part of the Spring Mountain District.  These mountains are known for their big rich Cabernet Sauvignon’s and Merlots and the Schweiger family is also successfully producing a fabulous Chardonnay from the grapes grown on their 35 acre estate.

Caring for the land is foremost, and Schweiger Vineyards has been fully sustainable since the early years of 1960.  The family planted vines in 1981 and sold their fruit for 10 years until finally forming a winery with the first release of the 1994 vintage!  The wines have all maintained powerful 90 point plus scores throughout the years.  Get ready to try some of the best that Napa Valley has to offer!
