Off the beaten path in the Napa Valley

Off the beaten path in the Napa Valley

It is always fun to explore areas off the beaten path in the Napa Valley. In the photo we see the estate property at Buehler Vineyards. Buehler is tucked away on the eastern side of the Napa Valley heading up to the Vaca Mountain hillsides. The road is curvy but you will travel through some wonderful countryside scenery. At Buehler’s estate vineyards it is mostly about Cabernet Sauvignon. The hillsides provide the ideal climate for growing Cabernet. Tours and tastings are available at Buehler by appointment only. The family lives on the property so, in a sense, when visiting Buehler you will be in the family’s backyard. By the way, the wines are wonderful and reasonably priced. The family purchased the property in the early 1970’s. Just a short distance beyond Buehler Vineyards is another family-owned winery, Amizetta Estate Winery.  Amizetta also has tours and tastings by appointment only. The wines at Amizetta are in the high-end category, but so tasty. In the case of Buehler and Amizetta, the chances are very good that the tour and tasting will be led by family members. The added benefit to making the trek to these two wineries is that you are likely to be the only ones visiting the winery at that particular time. It is always nice to get away from the Napa Valley crowds.

Buehler Vineyards — Strange Encounters and Other Napa Valley News

March 29, 2010 by joe

Spring is here in the Napa Valley, the sun is warm, and many of the vines are alive with recent bud break. It is a very enjoyable time to travel to the Napa Valley. Not only does spring bring tourists to the Valley but other creatures as well. We had just finished tasting some delicious Buehler wines and were on our way to the terrace to enjoy a picnic lunch. There it was basking in the beautiful sunshine, a rather long and ominous looking rattlesnake. John Page Buehler was the first to alert us and then quickly raced into the tasting room and returned with a shovel. Page with his handy long shovel was able to corral the snake and move it away from the picnic area. What a man!
