OUR STORY

₅Bridges has been crafting premium, small lot wines that are uniquely San Francisco since 2005.  Our boutique vineyard is located within the San Francisco Bay AVA and is comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo & Merlot.

Located in the East Bay hills at an elevation of 1,000 ft, we developed the 5Bridges brand as a nod to five bridges visible from the property – that span the San Francisco Bay. Although very few growers produce these varietals in the Bay Area proper, the soils, elevation and micro-climate contribute significantly to the high-quality, flavorful fruit we’re able to cultivate.

We were stunned when our very first vintage – 5Bridges 2005 Red Wine (Bordeaux style blend) received 97 points and a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco International Wine Competition. We thought it might be a fluke, so we entered our 2006 vintage, and it also earned 97 points and a Double Gold Medal. Who would have thought? Since then, we’ve been growing and crafting award winning wines that are limited, truly unique, and embody the San Francisco spirit of innovation, adventure and determination. 

Production of our wines is limited to fewer than 300 cases per year. We are grateful to share with you a legacy of handcrafted, delectable, world class wines.
