Wine Maker Elias Fernandez has been making wine at Shafer Vineyards for 40 years, forging the winery’s style of opulence, balance, and elegance. The Shafer Vineyards property has been the site of grape growing and commercial winemaking since 1880, during Napa Valley’s first boom as an American wine country. Napa’s pioneer vintners not only filled San Francisco’s wine cellars but shipped wine across the country and earned gold medals at the 1889 Paris Exposition. Shafer Vineyards takes inspiration from nearly 150 years of our passionate and gifted predecessors, who saw the rich promise of this site, cared for it meticulously, and preserved its beauty and power for future generations.
