The history of Honig winery is a story deeply rooted in family and a passion for winemaking. Our family first arrived in Rutherford in 1964, drawn to the beautiful Napa Valley and its potential for producing exceptional wines. It wasn't until 1980 that we officially established Honig winery and began our journey as wine producers.
From the very beginning, our focus has been on two varietals – Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. We believe in the power of specialization, honing our skills and expertise to create wines that truly showcase the unique characteristics of these grapes. By dedicating ourselves to these varietals, we are able to craft wines that are consistently of the highest quality.
One of the key aspects that sets Honig winery apart is our commitment to sustainability. We firmly believe in being good stewards of the land, and this is reflected in our farming practices. We are proud to be certified sustainable by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance, ensuring that our vineyards are managed responsibly and with respect for the environment.
In addition to our sustainable farming practices, we are also dedicated to harnessing renewable energy. The winery is powered by solar energy, reducing our carbon footprint and further demonstrating our commitment to sustainability. This allows us to produce our wines with minimal impact on the environment, ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy the beauty of the Napa Valley.
As a family owned and operated winery, we take great pride in our craft. Each member of our family has a role to play in the winemaking process, from tending to the vineyards to overseeing the production and distribution of our wines. This hands-on approach allows us to maintain the highest level of quality control and ensure that every bottle of Honig wine is a true reflection of our family's dedication and passion.
Throughout the years, we have had the privilege of witnessing the evolution of the Napa Valley wine industry. We have seen trends come and go, but our commitment to producing exceptional wines has never wavered. We have built strong relationships with our customers, many of whom have become like family to us. It is this sense of community and connection that truly sets Honig winery apart.
The history of Honig winery is one of family, passion, and sustainability. From our humble beginnings in 1980 to our present-day status as a respected winery in the Napa Valley, we have remained true to our core values. We are proud to produce wines that showcase the unique terroir of the region and reflect our unwavering commitment to quality.
