Open: Year Round
Producing world-class wines was the vision of two former aerospace engineers who in pursuit of their dream launched ZD Wines.The winery is the product of two former aerospace engineers, which explains the Zero Defects logic behind the initials ZD, In 1968, Norman de Leuze and Gino Zepponi pooled their resources of $3,000 apiece and applied for a winery permit and built their winery. The winery prospered and continued to expand with a new facility completed in 1980 and then expanded again 13 years later.
The wines fermented here are known to have graced White House dinners and have received excellence awards. ZD Wines offer varietals of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, all aged in American and French oaks. Wine tasting and tours are possible by appointment and for a fee.
