Farming runs deep in the Zurschmeide family, instilled in us by our patriarch, Bob Zurschmeide who grew up farming in Indiana and still says the money he saved to put himself through collect was covered in peach fuzz. He is the inspiration that makes us unique among Virginia Wineries.
We specialize in single vineyard blends that best showcase their site as well as powerful blends and single varietals to show the essence of Virginia wine. We promote local, with the very best quality at mind. Wine is not about what we do – It’s about our passion for vineyards, fine wines, and our local community.
Fabbioli Cellars is a business and a concept that has been in the works for over 30 years. When we moved to California in 1987, we had in the back of our minds the idea that we could find a piece of land and grow some grapes.
Sunset Hills Vineyard’s completed its first harvest in 2001, with more than six tons of Chardonnay picked and sold to local wineries. In 2004, the Canneys expanded the vineyard from three to seven acres, planting Cabernet Franc and Viognier, two of Virginia’s signature varietals.
