Sonoma County’s Alexander Valley was mostly prune orchards and pastures when, in 1962, Maggie and Harry Wetzel purchased a large portion of a homestead built by Cyrus Alexander, the valley’s nineteenth century namesake. Here, in a rural community of family farms and ranches, the Wetzel family settled. They raised livestock, cultivated bountiful gardens and restored Alexander’s original home, making it the center of family life. With an eye to their neighbors in nearby Napa Valley, the Wetzels boldly planted premium grape varieties, among the first in the area. Then the family built a small winery. Hank Wetzel, oldest son of Maggie and Harry, produced Alexander Valley Vineyard’s first wine in 1975. His wife Linda set up the books and managed the winery office. AVV quickly established a reputation for estate grown wines with distinctive varietal character. Acclaimed for crisp Chardonnay and luscious Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley Vineyards brought recognition to the appellation and became a leading winery in Sonoma County.

Sun-Rype grew out of the fresh fruit business in the lush Okanagan Valley. In 1946, the BC Fruit Growers Association, who had already been in the apple business for over 50 years, created BC Fruit Processing Ltd. to produce and sell a pure 100% apple juice, made with apples straight from the orchard. They named their new juice "Sun-Rype," and that is how it all started. This 100% pure, wholesome juice quickly became popular with Western Canadian families — and in the initial years a variety of other products were also manufactured, including apple sauce, dehydrated apples and pie filling. Since those days, Sun-Rype has come a long way. We expanded our line of 100% juices to include a wide range of delicious fruits. We also added our popular and convenient fruit snacks to the Sun-Rype family. And in the past few years we took one of Western Canada's best known and loved brands and expanded across Canada to share Sun-Rype goodness with families everywhere! Since 2008, we are proudly offering our 100% Fruit Snacks across the United States.
