There are so many wonderful ways to experience RLV wines...
At home with a relaxed Sunday supper, in our Tasting Room for an unforgettable meal, around the state at a wine tasting or special event. Pairing our wines with food, family and friends makes every day special and special occasions extraordinary.
RLV is dedicated to sourcing high-quality grapes that lend themselves to the creation of premium wines. We’ve adapted our wine-making philosophy from the rich tradition of another hot, dry climate—France’s Southern Rhone Valley. Like vintners in the Chateauneuf du Pape region, we style many of our wines from multiple grape varietals and blends to add richness and complexity.
