About Web Winery

Web Winery is a guide to California's small, family-run wineries: who is still making wine, where to find them and how to visit. It also keeps the recipes and history these wineries shared on the original Web Winery between 1995 and 2005.

We don't sell wine and we don't rate it.

Web Winery started in 1995 as Aull-N-Aull's online wine shop for small California wineries. The shop closed in 2005. Today Web Winery is an independent guide. No winery pays for what we say about it, and the archive of the original site is kept as it was, with dates.

How we check facts

Each winery's page shows its status and the date we last checked it:

• Open: the winery's own website or a current listing shows it making and selling wine.
• Changed hands or Renamed: the winery or its label has a new owner or name; the page says who makes the wine now.
• No longer trading: the winery has closed. Its history and recipes stay on the site.
• Not confirmed: there is no current source either way. Contact the winery before you go.

Every fact about a winery today, from its website to its tasting hours, has a numbered source you can follow: the winery's own site, public records, current listings or the news. Pages from the original Web Winery are history. They are dated, and never used for today's facts.

Found a mistake? Tell us through the contact page, with where we can check the right answer. If you run a winery, you can also claim your listing.

We recheck every listing at least once a year, and sooner when a winery or a reader tells us something has changed.

Logos

Each winery's logo comes from its own website. A winery that has closed or changed hands shows its last logo from the original Web Winery, with the year it was used. A winery can ask us to change or remove its logo through the contact page.
