About Neyers Vineyards:
Neyers Vineyards was established in the early 1980s by Bruce and Barbara Neyers when they bought a 35-acre parcel of potential vineyard land in Conn Valley, a foothill region of the Napa Valley, just a few miles east of St. Helena. In 1992 they staged their first harvest, fast forward to today, their family-owned winery produces about 15,000 cases of wine annually. The winery combines California terroir with French winemaking influences, thanks to Bruce’s experience with importer Kermit Lynch. Neyers focuses on sustainable farming practices, native yeast fermentation, and minimal intervention. They source grapes from their 50-acre Conn Valley Ranch estate, planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, as well as from select vineyards across Northern California. The winery, built in 1999 in Sage Canyon, features state-of-the-art facilities. Neyers is known for its Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and other varietals, emphasizing food-friendly wines that showcase fruit and varietal characteristics.

About Bruce and Barbara Neyers:
Bruce and Barbara Neyers, who were high school and college classmates, relocated to the Bay Area when Bruce was serving in the U.S. Army. After his discharge, Bruce’s growing interest in wine led him to a job at a San Francisco wine importing company. In late 1971, he crossed paths with Bob Travers, then-owner of Mayacamas Vineyards, and soon joined the winery’s team. In 1974, Bruce and Barbara moved to Europe, where he gained experience working in both Germany and France. By 1975, he became part of Joseph Phelps Vineyards. In 1992, Bruce began a 25-year collaboration with Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. His deep appreciation for French, Italian, and German wines eventually inspired him to establish his own California winery, incorporating the Old-World techniques he had mastered over the years.
