A Journey of Discovery: Learn About the Agricultural Gem of Suisun Valley and the Recently Opened Caymus-Suisun

The Wagner family founded Caymus Vineyards in Rutherford, Napa Valley, in 1972. Fifty years later, they were thrilled to open a new winery in nearby Suisun Valley. Separated from Napa by just an invisible county line, Suisun Valley became an AVA in 1982, just one year after its famous neighbor. Yet this exceptional wine region remains largely undiscovered. About one-tenth the size of Napa Valley, Suisun Valley shares a remarkably similar maritime climate, influenced by San Francisco and San Pablo Bays. Warm days and cool nights provide ideal conditions for a variety of grapes. Suisun Valley has stayed out of the spotlight due to its small size and family wineries that sell mostly out of their tasting rooms. Historically known for its stone fruits and walnuts, the region is increasingly being recognized for the quality of its wines. The Wagners began exploring Suisun Valley about 10 years ago, drawn in by its pastoral beauty, small family farms and high-quality fruit. Their excitement led them to farm grapes in the region and create a new label, Caymus-Suisun. In spring of 2022, they opened Caymus-Suisun Winery, with a modern design nestled among vineyards and fruit orchards. They feel extremely fortunate to be part of the Suisun community and to invite others to explore this remarkable wine region for themselves.
