Estate Grown
Handcrafted ~ High quality
Suisun Creek Ranch and Vineyard have been in the Babcock family for over 35 years and is located in the heart of beautiful Suisun Valley, California. When Howard Babcock purchased the property, it was a thriving orchard of cherry, prune, and pear trees. As the family business, the Babcocks, along with son Brian and his sister, cared for the entire ranch. From orchard care to harvesting the fruit and selling it at the family fruit stand. Eventually those orchards were replaced with vineyards, which make up the 13 varietals that are grown in the same spot today and all of which are still managed and cared for by our owner/winemaker, Brian Babcock, and his team of vineyard workers.
Varietals include: Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Viognier, Albariño, Sauvignon Blanc, Verdelho, Charbono, Pinot Grigio, Muscat, Riesling, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Meet Winemaker Brian Babcock
Brian is a native Californian and was raised on the same property that he farms today. His family moved to Suisun Valley when he was five years old, and he can’t imagine a better place to live. In fact, his children attend the same elementary that he did growing up! Living his life on the ranch has prepared him for the jobs he has today. After attending high school in Napa, CA, Brian set his sights on a career in wine and farming. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Viticulture and Enology from UC Davis. He took his knowledge and jumped into the wine field working at various wineries in Napa County. He has held many different positions including: Lab Technician, Cellar Worker, Harvest Assistant, Production Enologist, Assistant Winemaker, and finally, Winemaker. Before returning home to work the family land, Brian spent 10 years at one of the 3rd largest wineries in the country. There, he perfected his winemaking skills and helped lead a team to produce much of the wine currently found on many chain store shelves. Brian is so happy to be home on the ranch, working the land and hand crafting the varietals that we are so proud to serve to you. Winemaking is not only a science, but an art. Brian knows this well and works tirelessly to bring you the best wine possible. We hope you enjoy our wine as much as we enjoy making it… “
