Ahlgren is one of those valley wineries offering valley wine tasting. It is family winery .Those techies can come over here to unwind and rejuvenate. This is an extravagant place clubbed with picture perfect scenic beauty.
Ahlgren wines have earned a reputation of quality, consistency, texture, and firm texture. This vineyard was founded in 1976. The Ahlgrens follow the conservative hands- on methods and the bet grapes selected from vineyard. A visitor has a gala time over here. Lazing around, cool weather, and wine to taste, surrounded by mountains, it looks like a small wonderland. The land was discovered in the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Sym Van der Ryn, architect, was engaged, and in 1973 the great adventure of building their rustic, handmade house began, starting with redwood logs purchased from a neighboring property. The Ahlgrens milled the lumber with an Alaska mill and built their mountain home with the winery nestled into north side of the hill beneath the house.
Bonded at last in 1976, this small winery was dedicated to limited production of fine premium wines by traditional hands-on methods, and has successfully established a reputation for wines of consistently high quality and long life. There are arranged winery events.
The Ahlgrens started off the New Year of 2000 with the appointment of daughter Beth Ahlgren to the position of Winemaker after Dexter suffered a stroke. Beth had returned to Ahlgren Vineyard on 9/9/99 from ten years in Portland, Maine, where she represented the winery in the fields of Public Relations and Marketing. Back at the winery, she took the job of Assistant Winemaker in time for Vintage '99 before moving up to Winemaker in 2000.
