A Winery Worker’s Inspiring Story

In this video, we share the inspirations for why we wine travel. We visit Langtry Farms Vineyard & Winery in south Lake County, California, at its higher elevation location, about an hour drive north from world famous Napa Valley. Langtry is uniquely the first and only winery in the Guenoc Valley AVA, with Guenoc the original name of the winery. Hear the heartbreaking story of Scotty and how the historic Valley Fire affected him and his family. Yet, Scotty is one of the most spirited people and greatest storytellers you’ll meet. Amazing stories of resilience and passion are not uncommon in the world of wine, where traveling to the source and meeting the people who help make what ends up in the bottle of wine you’re drinking gives you a different feeling when you drink it. Perched on a hill with scenic views off of Butts Canyon Rd in Middletown, California, Langtry is a place worth savoring.
