3. Bremer Family Winery– Located in the Howell Mountain of the Napa Valley, Bremer Family Winery strategically chose this place because this AVA is known for its Bordeaux varietals and Zinfandels. Howell Mountain consists mostly of volcanic rock, with poor drainage systems which stresses the vines out creating higher quality-low yielding fruit. Bremer Family Winery is a favorite of our Private Tour Manager, Abbey.
