Located in the mountains just east of the town of Napa is the coolest growing area of the Napa Valley, Wild Horse Valley. Here, the Heron Lake Vineyard was established in 1980, nestled in just below the ridgeline at an elevation of about 1200 feet. Our first vintage of premium wines under the Heron Lake label was produced in 1985, and we began bottling our reserve wines under the Miss Olivia Brion label in 2003.

• Miss Olivia Brion Pinot Noir
• Lord Nelson “Victory” Port-Style Fortified Wine

We have just been honored by Napa-Sonoma Magazine as one of three "Wineries to Watch."


We are proud that our Pinot Noir is served in some of the finest restaurants in North America, for example Gary Danko (San Francisco), Citronelle (Washington DC), BLT Prime (New York and Los Angeles), Tru and MK (Chicago), Tra Vigne and Terra and many others (Napa Valley).
