They continue to win gold medals with their estate-bottled Merlot wines, as well as several other varietals and blends. The Lanza family after three generations still own Wooden Valley Winery, and Mario's descendants today continue a tradition of fine wine making using grapes from their own vineyard, as well as grapes from other vineyards in Suisun Valley.

Mario Lanza joined the winery in 1944 as a partner, and took over full ownership 11 years later. Wooden Valley Winery dates back to 1933, which makes it the oldest winery in Suisun Valley under continuous operation. Today, these valleys boast several family-run wineries and vineyards, which with new vineyard locations, different variaties of grapes, specialized growing techniques, and skilled winemaking are poised for even greater success and recognition in the future. Over the years there has been recognition that the Mediterranean climate, fertile soils, and sunny hillsides of Suisun Valley and Green Valley result in high-quality grapes. Yet new vineyards and wineries sprang up in adjacent Suisun Valley with the prosperity that followed the end of World War II, and more came with the "wine boom" of the 1960s. Several large wineries and vineyards sprang up in Green Valley in the 1860s, but phylloxera epidemics in the 1870s, and the 1919 enactment of Prohibition devastated the local grape industry. For this reason, Suisun Valley and neighboring Green Valley, with Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino Counties are joined under the North Coast Appellation, an officially recognized wine district famed worldwide for quality wines Separated from Napa Valley on the west by a mall range of low hills, the similar climates, soils and geography of these valleys are some of the best in the State for growing grapes. Either change your participation to 21 and over only or treat everyone fairly.With a wine-making tradition more than a century old, Suisun Valley is a little known corner of Solano County that has gained recognition as one of the premier grape-growing regions of California. We had a choice and I would choose to not patronize a winery that invites patrons with children to attend but then subjects them to discriminatory practices upon arrival. If they had told someone that was ethnic or a senior citizen they had to sit in the far back section because they were ethnic or of advanced age there would be outcry. Of course, wineries can have rules about 21 and over, which I’ve seen before, but we were assured we would be welcomed and were encouraged to buy tickets only to be subjugated to segregation practices. When I asked why couples with children couldn’t sit on the patio she said “in case things get crazy down there we don’t want her affected.” 🤦🏼♀️ It was so literally ridiculous and discriminatory. She then told us that people with children had to sit on the porch which was far behind the patio area. Immediately the woman greeting us did not want us to be there in spite of our reservation. We acquired 3 tickets, arrived at 6pm and if you’ve been to jazz night it’s hosted on the patio. The woman associate checked with management and told us it was fine if she came but we needed to sit on the patio.
We called in advance to request if my husband and I could bring our daughter to jazz night since we visiting the area for the month.
