Milliaire Winery: A Legacy of Distinctive Zinfandels
Welcome to Milliaire Winery, the oldest family-owned winery in Murphys, California. Since 1983, we have been producing distinctive Zinfandels that have captured the hearts and palates of wine enthusiasts all over the world.
Our story began when Steve and Liz Millier fell in love with the Sierra Foothills region and decided to start their own winery. They purchased a historic building in downtown Murphys and converted it into a state-of-the-art winemaking facility. Today, their son Jeremy is at the helm of Milliaire Winery, continuing his parents' legacy of crafting exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of this region.
At Milliaire Winery, we believe that great wine starts with great grapes. That's why we work closely with local growers who share our commitment to sustainable farming practices. We source our grapes from some of the finest vineyards in Calaveras County, including Tanner Vineyards and Rorick Heritage Vineyard.
Our flagship wine is our Old Vine Zinfandel, made from vines that are over 100 years old. This wine is a true expression of the Sierra Foothills terroir - bold and spicy with notes of blackberry jam and vanilla oak. We also produce a range of other varietals including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Syrah, Petite Sirah and more.
In addition to our award-winning wines, we offer visitors an unforgettable tasting experience at our tasting room in downtown Murphys. Our friendly staff will guide you through a flight of wines while sharing stories about our history and winemaking philosophy.
We also host events throughout the year including live music performances on weekends during summer months as well as special tastings for holidays such as Valentine's Day or Mother's Day weekend where guests can enjoy a special pairing menu with our wines.
At Milliaire Winery, we are committed to sustainability and giving back to our community. We have installed solar panels on our roof and use recycled materials in our packaging. We also support local charities such as the Calaveras Winegrape Alliance and the Murphys Community Club.
In conclusion, Milliaire Winery is more than just a winery - it's a family legacy that has been passed down from generation to generation. Our commitment to quality, sustainability, and community is reflected in every bottle of wine we produce.
