Estate Vineyard: Overview

Airfield’s first vines were planted in 1968 by Don Miller. Today, Airfield grows 26 different wine grape varietals on 840 acres of land at the foot of the Rattlesnake Mountains. All of the vineyards are within 3 miles of the original WWII airbase. Despite this close proximity, there is a considerable amount of diversity of soil and microclimatic conditions within the planting. To maximize our grape quality, we carefully match grape varietals to the most suitable soils and microclimate.
