Just five miles from the Pacific Ocean, Edna Valley Vineyard has one of the longest and coolest growing seasons in California. Its location in one of the state's few east/west-oriented valleys allows nighttime coastal fog to move inland, cooling the grapes after a long day in the sunlight, so that they slowly mature while retaining sufficient acidity. The vineyard's unique site consists of layers of clay and volcanic rock over ancient ocean subsoil. We are a partnership between Paragon Vineyard Company, which is owned by the Niven family, and Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines. The Niven's planted Paragon, our estate vineyard, in the early 1970s and the Chalone Wine Group joined with the family to establish a partnership as Edna Valley Vineyard in 1980.Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines purchased the Chalone Wine Group in 2005.

Fall Creek Vineyards was established in 1975 by Texas businessman/rancher, Ed Auler and his wife, Susan. The vineyards are located eighty miles northwest of Austin in the Texas Hill Country where the sandy loam soil, warm days and cool breezes off Lake Buchanan provide an excellent microclimate for growing premium wine grapes.The inspiration for the winery came in 1973 when the Aulers, on a trip to France, noted remarkable similarities in the soil, terrain and microclimate of parts of the French wine country and their own ranch. “I became convinced that certain parts of the Texas Hill Country would be ideally suited to grape growing,” says Ed.Fall Creek Vineyards is named after gorgeous, spring-fed Fall Creek, which flows through the Auler family’s ranch near the winery. Fall Creek empties into the Colorado River at the spectacular Fall Creek waterfalls. The 90-foot waterfalls have been a landmark since the time of early man and continue to be one today. Vanishing Texas River Cruise provides tours of the Fall Creek waterfalls daily.

Paternina makes part of the history of Spanish wine, of the history of La Rioja. It was inaugurated in 1896 and since then this Riojan wine cellar has been faithful to its history yet at the same time renewing itself. For dinner or dessert, Federico Paternina fills the glass. The company produces and distributes wine from Spain's famed La Rioja region. Its labels include Banda Azul, Clos, Conde de los Andes, and Monte Haro. Though wine provides a great majority of the company's sales, Paternina also produces brandy and sherry. Paternina sells worldwide, but Spain accounts for most of its revenues. The Eguiz�bal family bought the seized Federico Paternina vineyards in an auction (from the Spanish government) for a single peseta in 1984. Chairman Marcos Eguiz�bal Ramirez owns more than 80% of the company. Founded in 1896, the winery uses cellars dating back to the 1500s.
