G V Cellars

Open: Year-round

Our History:

In 1952, Ben Volkhardt Sr., a San Franciscan sheet metal worker, decided to purchase farming land outside of the big city. He decided on an 80 acre fruit orchard  accompanied by a four acre vineyard of Alicante Bouschet grapes. The orchard was slowly replanted over the next 20 years and Volkhardt Family Vineyards was created.  The land stayed in the family for three generations spanning over 50 years and  in May 2005, GV Cellars acquired the winery and vineyards.

GV Cellars focuses on Italian varietals, producing mainly Green Valley estate wines, both single varietal and food friendly blends. Twenty seven acres are currrently planted with varietals including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Dolcetto, Sangiovese and Syrah. The large property has proved to be a great venue for casual wine focused events year round.
