Bella winery is owned and operated by Scott and Lynn Adams, a passionate couple who have dedicated their lives to producing exceptional wines in the Dry Creek Valley. I had the pleasure of visiting Bella winery and meeting Scott and Lynn, and I must say, their love and commitment to their craft is truly inspiring.
Scott and Lynn's journey into the world of winemaking began in 1995 when Scott went into partnership with his father and three brothers to purchase their first vineyard in the Dry Creek Valley. This was the start of their dream to create a winery that would showcase the unique terroir of the region and produce wines of the highest quality.
Over the years, Scott and Lynn have worked tirelessly to expand their vineyard holdings and improve their winemaking techniques. They have acquired additional vineyards in the Dry Creek Valley, each with its own distinct characteristics and grape varietals. By carefully selecting the best sites and practicing sustainable farming methods, they have been able to cultivate grapes that truly express the essence of the terroir.
One of the things that struck me during my visit to Bella winery was the hands-on approach that Scott and Lynn take in every aspect of winemaking. From tending to the vineyards to personally overseeing the harvest and fermentation process, they are intimately involved in every step of the winemaking process. This level of dedication and attention to detail is evident in the exceptional quality of their wines.
In addition to their own vineyards, Scott and Lynn also work closely with a select group of growers in the Dry Creek Valley who share their commitment to excellence. This collaborative approach allows them to source the highest quality grapes from some of the best vineyards in the region, further enhancing the complexity and character of their wines.
During my visit, I had the opportunity to taste a range of Bella wines, and I was blown away by the depth of flavors and the impeccable balance of each wine. From their elegant Chardonnay to their bold Zinfandel, every wine exhibited a sense of place and a true reflection of the Dry Creek Valley.
But what truly sets Bella winery apart is the warmth and hospitality of Scott and Lynn. They welcomed me into their winery like an old friend, sharing stories of their winemaking journey and offering insights into the unique challenges and joys of running a small winery. It was clear to me that their passion for winemaking extends beyond just the product itself; it is about creating an experience and sharing their love for wine with others.
Bella winery is owned and operated by Scott and Lynn Adams, a dedicated couple who have poured their heart and soul into creating exceptional wines in the Dry Creek Valley. Their commitment to quality, their hands-on approach to winemaking, and their warm hospitality make Bella winery a truly special place.
