Specializing in non-traditional blended wines, the Avenguardia Winery is a small, or ultra-boutique as others might say, establishment with its winery in Nevada City and a tasting room in Grass Valley.

The winery emphases balance in its wine, ensuring that each bottle has just the perfect amount of alcohol, tannin or oak, and acidity. With wines that are more similar to European varieties than Californian, the Avenguardia Winery’s proprietary blends are largely crafted from 2 to 6 different grape varieties. While the winery does try to get as many varieties of grapes in their wine, most of which are out of mainstream popularity, a majority of their vines are Italian, which gives their blends a great finish.
