Spann Vineyards strives to create food-friendly, unique wines that are memorable yet blend seamlessly into the occasion. They produce small amounts of wine with fruit from sought-after vineyards and growing areas and incorporate techniques they've learned from European and California winemakers alike and the resulting wines are approachable and delicious.
While attending college in New Orleans in the early 1970s, Peter took a job as a waiter in a French restaurant and became infatuated with classic French wines and food. His wines of preference were those from Bordeaux and the Rhone Valley. Peter pursued a career in the restaurant industry and served as manager and wine buyer for several restaurants before realizing that he belonged solely in the wine business. In 2000, he finally moved to Northern California to take a position with a wine importing company and the temptation was too great. Peter and Betsy bought a vineyard in Glen Ellen and Spann Vineyards was born.
