The Ascona Vineyard is 14 acres, located high up along Summit Drive. Managed by Skyline Viticulture and led by master vineyard manager Ken Swegles, the fruit we get from this vineyard is some of the most immaculate we have seen. Planted to Mt Eden in 1999 and Swan in 2017, this vineyard is farmed with 100% organic practices and products approved for organic uses, although not formally certified. Western Bluebird houses (featured on the label art) are installed throughout the vineyard, providing natural pest control as the birds eat the insects that might impact the vineyard.
