Trail One · The Spine
Wiens Family Cellars
“Big Reds” is the house motto and the cellar delivers it — dense, dark-fruited blends poured generously.
There is no white-wine hedge, no something-for-everyone flight, no apology for the house style. On a road where a lot of rooms try to be all things, the narrowness is the selling point: you will know inside one pour whether this is your kind of place.

Before you drive
This page is an independent guide, not the winery. Hours, tasting fees and
reservation rules change season to season — and several rooms are
reservation-only on weekends. Check Wiens Family Cellars’s own site or call before
building the day around it.
