Wente Vineyards Visitors Center
This new dimension to Wente Vineyards was begun in 1981 when the Wente family decided to purchase the long abandoned Cresta Blanca winery site. Building by building the winery began to regain its elegance. New white stucco walls with red tile roofs were surrounded by replanted vineyards at the foot of the hillsides. Next came the restoration of 650 feet of sandstone aging caves. As they did originally, the caves still provide an ideal resting place for sparkling wine as it ages and matures. To learn more about this age old process, guided tours and tasting available daily.
