Visiting the site, you will quickly find that there is still a beautiful appreciation for all that is grown on the farm-and luckily we were able to enjoy some of it during our wine tasting pairing. First planted to grapes in 1865, it has been an agriculturally based land from the outset, where the Wheeler family grew apples, prunes, and walnuts as well as grape vines, and where they made wine and brandy in an on-site winery located at Zinfandel Station, next to the railroad tracks that parallel Highway 29. Originally part of the 2000-acre Carne Humana Spanish land grant, Wheeler Farms has a rich history that parallels that of the Valley in which it lies. At the recommendation of our friends at Meadowood Napa Valley, we scheduled a unique wine tasting with Samantha of Vice Versa Wines at Wheeler Farms.
