The First Sip

Chateau Meichtry wines are like no other. In 1921, when Stephan Meichtry came to America, it is believed that he brought his own root stock from Switzerland and grew the vines he used for his lifelong wine-making. Today, Chateau Meichtry Vineyard is operated by his granddaughter, Karin, and a stock from these same vines serves as the foundation for their flavorful wines such as barrel-fermented Chardonnay, with layers of pineapple, citrus, and pear.

Looking to explore the vineyard? Book a Chateau Meichtry tour! The tour includes a standard tasting, a glass of wine to take on the tour with you, the tour itself, and a souvenir glass to take home with you.
