Hans Fahden Vineyards is a resplendent natural paradise,. Com here for the vineyards, lake, water gardens, and of course, the cave.
Three generations of Fahden family members have worked on the property, from grandfather Hans, who came in 1912 and initially planted orchards, to grandsons Antone and Lyall.
One of the more unusual caves in the California wine country, the Hans Fahden cave is particularly unique among those of modern construction. Not only is it entirely in its native bare-rock state, without the lining of shotcrete, or gunnite, which is normally used to line wine cave interiors, but it also has a charming, peaked gothic ceiling throughout its length, quite different from the conventional rounded shape one usually sees in wine caves.
