Steve and Seanne Contursi, the founders and proprietors of Arrow&Branch, announce that Arrow&Branch will now be making wine and welcoming clients at the spectacular new Wheeler Farms Winery located in the heart of St. Helena on Zinfandel Lane as of May 1. “The historical property has been re-created and re-envisioned by the Araujo family as a state-of-the-art winery providing cutting edge technology and equipment. It is the perfect spot for making our limited production, distinctive handcrafted lots,” Contursi said, in making the announcement.

Arrow&Branch will begin conducting private tastings at the newly open Wheeler FarmsWinery Hospitality House. Each tasting will be hosted by the winery’s General Manager, Elizabeth Robertis. “We look forward to welcoming our clients to this beautiful new spot, not only to enjoy stunning views of vineyards and orchards on the Valley floor in St. Helena but of course also to indulge in our current releases,” Contursi adds.

Visits will be scheduled for 90 minutes in one of the winery’s exclusive tasting areas and must be arranged by reservation only, in advance. The experience will include a walk through the 11.6 acres of handsome grounds which encompass Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc vineyards, 80 olive trees, 21 heritage fruit trees, two bee hives, 13 raised beds for vegetables and a chicken coop housing heritage chickens. The tasting is priced at $125 per person and will include a taste of all four of Arrow&Branch’s current releases. Wheeler Farms is located at 588 Zinfandel Lane in St. Helena.

Wheeler Farms Winery, the latest project from Bart and Daphne Araujo, was designed by architects Taylor Lombardo to express the agricultural history of the property. It includes a state of the art custom crush facility and an inviting hospitality space.

Arrow&Branch’s current releases are 2013 Arrow&Branch Cabernet Sauvignon from Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard, 2016 Arrow&Branch Sauvignon Blanc, 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon “Black Label” and the Flagship 2013 Red Wine. The winery also offers The Arrow&Branch Society, with three tiers of membership and exclusive benefits.
