Mount Veeder Winery
In 1963, there were a few daring souls planting vineyards on the Napa Valley floor, but Michael & Arlene Bernstein's set out to do something different when they purchased a 20-acre prune farm on Mount Veeder, in the Mayacamas Mountains.
In 1969, the Bernstein's purchased another farm and transformed it into a five-acre vineyard with five of the classic Bordeaux grape varieties – a first in Napa Valley. They expanded their holdings to include three unique vineyards – Winery Ranch Vineyard, Rosenquist Ranch Vineyard, and North Ranch Vineyard – that range from 1,500 - 1,600 ft. in elevation. Their inaugural vintage in 1973, was the first wine to bear the Mount Veeder designation.
