Aver Family Vineyards
Update: John and Carolyn Aver have decided it's time to retire from the grape growing and winemaking business. As of September 18, 2021 they will close the Aver Family Vineyards tasting room, which is located in their home's front yard. The Avers will continue the business as a virtual winery until they sell through their current wine inventory, which they estimate will take a couple of years. Both the home and the vineyard property will be listed for sale in early fall.
Aver Family Vineyards was established in 2005 when John and Carolyn Aver purchased an 8.25 acre vineyard located in the Uvas Valley of Santa Clara County. The vineyard and surrounding countryside create spectacular views and provide an idyllic setting for the outdoor tasting room. Visitors will discover premium wines featuring Rhône varietals. Wines are paired with locally-sourced chocolates to enhance the tasting experience.
Vigneron John Aver crafts his wines from either estate grapes or grapes sourced from prominent California vineyards including Durell, Catie’s Corner and Gap’s Crown. The vineyard is cultivated using holistic farming practices and supplies Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Petite Sirah grapes.
