Out of the more than 4,700 wineries in California, Quady Winery is the only one with a complete focus on sweet and aperitif wines. Our journey started in 1975 with 1,600 cases of Zinfandel Port and by 1980, our co-founder Andrew Quady discovered an unused patch of the rare Orange Muscat grape varietal – known in Italy as Moscato Fior d’Arancio. Andrew turned these grapes into Essensia, a wine that opened new premium categories in the American wine industry after it was released. This marked the beginning of Quady Winery’s Muscat expertise – where the rich flavors of rare Muscat varietals are celebrated and intensified rather than softened and blended.

The varieties we use for our wines are rare, delicious expressions of California’s fruit-filled San Joaquin Valley. Our winemaking style is rich, aromatic and perfectly balanced for Muscat & Aperitif wines that are unparalleled in the market. Give us a try and taste the difference.
