Viader
Winery in California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Viader Vineyards & Winery (oft spelled capitalized as VIADER) is a 96 acres (39 ha) winery located in Deer Park, California, United States at 1,400 feet of elevation.[1][2] It was founded in 1986 by an Argentinian immigrant to the United States, Delia Viader,[3][4][5] after receiving a loan from her father to start the business.[6][7] The winery produces wine from mostly red grape varieties such as Cabernet sauvignon, Cabernet franc, Petit verdot, Malbec, and blends of some of these reds with one another. According to Wine Industry advisor, "96% percent of VIADER’s wines are not available to the general public",[8] being sold instead mostly to visitors to the winery itself.[4]
