Andis Wines, Scott Harvey Wines, and Vino Noceto will host a weekend of events to celebrate the continuing vivacity of the Original Grandpère Vineyard (OGP), also known as Vineyard 1869. Over the course of four days, guests to Amador County will have a chance to taste, sip, and explore the zinfandel vineyard heralded as the oldest documented zinfandel vineyard in America.
The Original Grandpère Vineyard, also known as Vineyard 1869, is the oldest documented zinfandel vineyard in America dating back to the 1860s, and was named 2016 Vineyard of the Year by the California State Fair. Still in production today, only four wineries are privileged enough to receive fruit from this vineyard, three in Amador County – Andis Wines, Scott Harvey Wines, and Vino Noceto – with the fourth being Macchia in Lodi.
The weekend kicks off at the award-winning Taste Restaurant, where a special prix-fixe menu will highlight pairings with the OGP/Vineyard 1869 Zinfandel offerings from Andis Wines, Scott Harvey Wines, and Vino Noceto. On Saturday, you have the chance to walk among the ancient vines themselves with winemaker and past proprietor, Scott Harvey. The tour meets at the vineyard. In addition, each winery will be offering rare vertical tastings of their OGP/Vineyard 1869 Zinfandel, paired with small bites.
Note: The Saturday tour is weather permitting.
