Husch Vineyards holdsHusch Vineyards holds the most historically significant distinction in the Anderson Valley wine industry: it was the first winery to produce wine in the valley, crushing its first grapes in 1971 when the Anderson Valley had no critical wine reputation whatsoever.
✓
Tony and GretchenTony and Gretchen Husch planted the original vineyards and converted a late-1800s pony barn into the most charming and intimate tasting room on Highway 128, a converted barn so small and personal that Wine Country Getaways calls it 'the coziest and smallest tasting room in the area.' Third-generation family members now lead the winery, maintaining the same philosophy that has guided every Husch vintage for over 50 years: grow the grapes sustainably on family-managed vineyards, make wines that honestly express the Anderson Valley's cool maritime character, and welcome every visitor with the genuine warmth of a family that has been sharing their harvest with guests since before the valley had any wine tourism infrastructure whatsoever.

The 22-wine lineupThe 22-wine lineup, six of which are nationally distributed, with the remainder available only at the tasting room, includes estate Gewürztraminer, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and other Anderson Valley expressions.
