About Vezér Family Vineyard

Part of the greater North Coast AVA (American Viticulture Area), the Suisun AVA received its distinction in 1982 as a premier grape-growing region.This warmer region produces heartier fruit that is heavily sourced by Napa Valley vintners.

With a family history in wine dating back to 1938, the Vezér family established their winery in the Suisun Valley in 2001. Known for their Petite Sirah and Zinfandel, the Vezér Family Vineyard has received accolades in blind tastings against other well-established wineries. Their award winning wines are complex and well-balanced. In addition to creating their own estate wines, their grapes help create such well-known wines as Ravenswood and Sin Zin.
