Suisun Valley Filling Station & Visitor's Center
|
Around here our love for Suisun Valley runs deep, as do our family roots. Mankas Corner has served as a tavern and meeting place for travelers and locals since the early 1800's. We are blessed to be able to continue this tradition at the Suisun Valley Filling Station. The Filling Station is host to a vintage gas station inspired tasting room providing locals and visitors with a friendly hometown venue to sip artisan wine and craft beer made in our valley and beyond. We invite you to join us for a classic wine or beer tasting, enjoy a glass or a bottle in the tasting room or on the patio with a bite to eat from our Snack Wagon Menu, and of course purchase anything by the bottle or the case to take with you. |

When Chuck Wagner, the owner of Caymus gives you advice, it’s probably a good idea to take it! He suggested that The Filling Station have a special varietal that nobody else carries, so he offered us our choice of grapes straight from his vineyard literally in our back yard. Luckily, winemaker (and my childhood friend) Don Huffman agreed and jumped on board. After walking the vineyard and tasting many grapes we settled on two, a Corvina and a Rondinella, both typically native to the Veneto region in Northern Italy.
Excitedly, on an early October morning we gathered a small group of friends and family to harvest. We picked it all BY HAND, transferred it up to Rockville Cellars and spent the rest of the afternoon preparing it for fermentation, even stomping with our bare feet like Lucy and Ethel! The house on the label is an original water color by my friend and amazing local artist Sandy Imperatori. It is a beautiful rendition of our 100 year old home in Suisun Valley which sits on the estate from which these grapes were grown. So as you can see we’ve named this beautiful blend aptly for a community of folks that have made it all possible and for whom we are forever GRATEFUL |
