FRANK AND LIZ SHARE THEIR TASTING NOTES & FEELINGS

For Liz Vezér, previously known as Liz Duarte, wine is no stranger. Wine has always been a part of the Duarte heritage.  Starting back from her uncles humble winery located in the lush and resplendent San Joaquin Valley. Frank has a slightly different story, for him wine was uncharted territory until he met his lovely wife Liz. Along with the many other things they shared in common, the love of wine soon became one of them. It wasn’t until many years, and five kids later, that Frank and Liz decided to take their love of wine to new heights. Moving to the foothills of Suisun Valley, Frank was able to see the potential that this alluring valley had to offer. Now was as good of a time as ever to venture out and broaden the Vezér family’s horizons. Frank and Liz envisioned a warm and inviting winery embedded in the very heart of the valley. With a wine that taunts the senses and gently glides across your tongue, it’ll leave your mouth pleading for more. Frank and Liz’s vision is now a reality. We are pleased to introduce Vezér Family Vineyard. We welcome you to be a part of our dreams.

San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition

The significance of the 2007 San Francisco wine competition and tasting to the American industry and beyond. The resolutions recognized the accomplishments of the winning wineries and those responsible for the winning wines, including our very own proprietor Frank & Liz Vezér. Needless to say we were honored to be recognized by these distinguished institutions.

On the world wine stage, Suisun Valley is standing shoulder to shoulder with some of the worlds finest producers. “Yes, we we're new to the scene, but were no less capable,” said Issam Mizirawi General Manager and Cellar Master of the Vezér Family Vineyard.  "The event was an important accomplishment for our newly founded winery and for the beautiful Suisun Valley."

Looking back, it’s clear that winning the DOUBLE GOLD, the SILVER and the BRONZE wasn’t really the prize. The ultimate reward was the new horizon of endless possibilities that were born out of the judgment, not just for Vezér Family Vineyard Winery but for all Suisun Valley. The fact that we can compete with the finest in the world, placed us on the national and world map.

Today Suisun Valley has earned its place among the world's great wine growing regions.

Haunted by Chocolate Tastings

Chocolate…

The word itself conjures up images, smells, associations to our memories and of course, taste. When most people hear the word, they smile. When they get a piece of good Chocolate, they melt.

Why not make your event truly memorable with a session of sensory excitement? Tasting Chocolate, like tasting wine, involves more than just taste and smell – and Tasting Chocolate involves all the senses and affects consciousness.

At a Haunted by Chocolate Tasting Event, Chocolate Maven Loyd Auerbach will lead folks through a tasting of exceptional Chocolates. You’ll learn a bit about the history, health benefits, variety and making of the Food of the Gods (the literal translation of Theobroma Cacao, Chocolate’s parent plant) while you are guided in tasting various samples.

The variety of Chocolate is wide – from different chocolate makers to percentages of cacao, from milk to dark to unusual flavorings. Chocolate Maven Loyd Auerbach will work with you to arrange the right samples for your guests.

Be ready with your Sixth Sense (in this case, your Sense of Humor) because Loyd's tastings are always Fun! There may even be a little magic in the air.
