Wooden Valley Winery - Suisun Valley AVA - Fairfield, CA - Wineries on Waymarking.com

Brothers Manuel and Salvador Brea founded Wooden Valley Winery in Suisun Valley, at the end of prohibition in 1933. Salvador named the winery after the road where it was located; at the time Wooden Valley Road and today Suisun Valley Road.

Mario Lanza joined the Brea brothers as a partner; and by 1955, Mario became sole owner with the provision that the name of the winery would stay the same. On a handshake, Mario agreed to continue the business as Wooden Valley Winery. Mario's son Richard (Chick) was the next generation to be raised on the ranch, and become part of the winery. Chick married Adrienne, and together they’ve raised four sons, all of whom are the current generation managing the operations of the winery and vineyards.

Mario’s oldest grandson, Rick, is now Wooden Valley’s winemaker. Ron works very closely with Rick in the cellar and focuses on sales & marketing. Larry and Ken manage the vineyards together, growing the grapes that their brothers make into wine.

Working together, the family has completed a transition to the exclusive production of estate wines, with a range of varietals and rare classics to meet every taste.
