Terrific wines and a superb host. Don't let the location fool you. The winemaker Bibiana and the host Alex are passionate about what they do. This is the kind of experience I seek. Unique, educational, and just genuine. The coffee beans are also impressive.
Wines of extreme purity, power, and finesse.— By the end of 2011, after many harvests perfecting the craft of making wine, Bibiana González Rave set upon her own adventure—a label known today as CATTLEYA WINES. In 2015, she was awarded “Winemaker of the Year” by the San Francisco Chronicle, just over a year after being named one of Wine Enthusiast “40 Under 40 America’s Tastemakers”. The icon for Cattleya wines is an embossed orchid representing the Cattleya Trinae. This flower is a national symbol of Bibiana's native country, Colombia. Growing up in Colombia shaped who I am. My training in France defined the winemaker I became and California gives me the land and the opportunity to make exceptional wines. —Bibiana González Rave
