Schweiger Vineyards

About Schweiger Vineyards

Fred Schweiger purchased his first 8 acres in 1960 for $250 an acre. Inspiration to plant the “King” and “Queen” of vines begins by the late 1970s. During the 1980s, Schweiger fruit was sought by premium wineries like Joe Cafaro, ZD, Newton and Stags Leap Winery.

In 1994, Schweiger’s son, Andy—a UC Davis grad—came on board as the winemaker. Today, all 35 acres of the sustainably-farmed fruit is estate bottled for the Schweiger Vineyards label. Along with noble varietals of Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, micro-blocks of Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot and Petite Syrah are farmed for a proprietary blend.
