High Valley Vineyard sits right along Highway 20 in the lakeside town of Clear Lake Oaks. The smart, attractive tasting room of this winery complements the wines. Justin Brassfield has branched out from his family’s successful Brassfield Winery to create his own distinctive wines.
He sources grapes from the High Valley Vineyard at the base of the ancient Round Mountain Volcano. This is some of the most rugged terrain in the valley. There are giant lava outcrops that are miles in length. High Valley differs from the rest of Lake County and most of California, because its situated east/west. Most valleys in California are situated north/south. This geological anomaly means that High Valley is able to pull in cool air from nearby Clear Lake. This allows for a wide range of grapes to be grown.
The attractive, shingled sided building has a wrap around veranda. It was completed in summer of 2008. The inviting interior has wood beamed ceilings, stained concrete floors, and a half circle copper topped tasting bar. The winery produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Fume Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc. They also produce smaller quantities of Barbera, Merlot, and Petite Sirah. There is a small picnic space in the back.
