Visiting us?

Reservations are your best bet to ensure that you have the best educational tasting experience, but for those looking for a more impromptu or spur-of-the-moment affair, we offer wines by the glass and preset self-guided flights to enjoy on the property!

Our new Open Doors: Wiemer Event Series, are small, personal engagements where you get an in-depth experience into topics that we’re passionate about and excited to share with you.

From the beginning...

Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard has approached the health of our vineyards as the most vital component of winemaking. Learn more about our farming practices and vineyards.

Estate fruit is hand-harvested and hand-sorted.

Vineyard qualities are isolated, worked in small lots, and blended for balance and texture; fermentations rely on indigenous yeasts. Learn more about our winemaking practices.
