About Ladera Vineyards...
Ladera story is a tale of two vineyards, almost at opposite ends of the Napa Valley. Their terrains and their histories are very different. Lone Canyon Vineyard on the flank of Mt. Veeder ranges in altitude up to 1,100 feet; some areas are so rugged and steep it’s difficult to stand upright. Ladera’s Howell Mountain property ranges in altitude from 1,600 feet to 1,800 feet: a gently rolling terrain, but set on a broad ridge of the mountain high above the Napa Valley floor. Our name reminds us of the virtue they share– both produce the distinctly intense fruit of well-drained hillside and mountain vineyards.
The thirty-inch-thick stone walls of the Brun & Chaix Winery were built under the direction of Italian stonemason Frank Giugni by Chinese workers who had originally been brought to California to cut the right-of-way for the railways through the solid granite of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The stone used in the winery came from a quarry near Angwin Creek on Howell Mountain.
