CAYMUS VINEYARDS TASTEMAKER DINNER
Since its beginning, Caymus Vineyards has become synonymous with producing exceptional and highly sought-after wines. The Wagner family’s passion for winemaking, combined with the region’s ideal climate and soil conditions, has allowed them to create wines of remarkable consistency and distinction. Join us for the next TasteMaker Dinner and indulge in four courses paired with the best of Caymus Vineyards.
Caymus History
From Farmers to Winemakers
Chuck Wagner and his late parents, Lorna and Charlie, started Caymus Vineyards in 1972. They were a family of farmers with roots in Napa Valley dating back to the 1850s. Today, the family’s Cabernet Sauvignons are among the region’s most celebrated wines.
Generations of Passion
Chuck now works alongside two of his children, Charlie and Jenny, and the family produces diverse wines from Napa Valley, other parts of California and beyond. Continually pursuing new ideas, they feel extremely fortunate to spend their days farming grapes and making wine.
