History
The story of the winery goes all the way back to 1912. Coming from Hamburg in Germany, Hans and Marie Fahden bought the property and transformed it into a vineyard. Throughout the years of Prohibition, they grew prunes and walnuts, keeping up with agricultural traditions. Their grandsons eventually turned back to their grape-growing roots and began growing produce for wine again. The first bottle of wine was crafted in 1987 and since the 90s they have hosted wine tastings on a regular basis.
