Woodside Vineyards

Woodside Vineyards has been credited with being one of the first wineries to pioneer the "boutique winery" movement in California and are the oldest winery in San Mateo County. Their grapes are farmed from 24 sites within the Woodside township, some of them over a century old.

Their premium Cabernet wines come from the legendary La Questa vines, planted by E.H. Rixford in 1884. When other California wine producers were selling their wine in bulk, Rixford was cultivating his La Questa vines that were hand-carried from France and producing wine in the tradition of the famed Chateau Margaux winery. These wines won a gold medal in San Francisco in 1915. The richness of this tradition is still evident in the elegant, hand-crafted, estate-grown wines that we produce today.

Founder, Bob Mullen, began producing wine from a little more than one acre of grapes at Woodside Vineyards in 1960. Three years later the winery became bonded, or licensed, to sell Bob's creations. Today Bob and full-time winemaker, Brian Caselden, produce nearly 2,000 cases a year.

The video, produced by Video4, takes you on a tour of the vineyards with Bob Mullen. For more info on Woodside Vineyards contact www.woodsidevineyards.com
