Winery

C huck, Charlie and Jenny Wagner founded Caymus-Suisun Winery in 2022 and are quickly making a name for the winery among Solano County residents – as evidenced by the winner’s selection as the Best Winery to Visit in the Daily Republic’s 2023 Readers’ Choice balloting.

Located in the heart of Suisun Valley’s American Viticultural Area, Caymus-Suisun Winery was designed to create a unique and unforgettable tasting experience that blends seamlessly with the surrounding natural environment – combining modern design with old-world charm.

Glass walls encase the tasting room with large sliding doors that not only provide views of the surrounding landscape but also capture the wind (Suisun means “west wind”) that breezes through the entire tasting room. Guests can choose to taste an array of four to five wines hosted by a wine educator or purchase a glass of wine to enjoy on their own, soaking in the views.

The retail room offers current releases as well as a unique selection of “one-off” small production and library wines that are not typically available elsewhere. Finally, on their way out, guests may pause for freshly brewed espresso while surveying the property and taking in the beauty of Suisun Valley.

Caymus-Suisun Winery offers a respite from day-to-day life that celebrates Suisun Valley and all the beauty and character of this agricultural gem.

“We are so grateful for the support and good wishes that we’ve received from the local community, and we’re extremely honored that readers of the Daily Republic have enjoyed coming to Caymus-Suisun Winery,” the Wagners say. “We hope they have felt our excitement over joining the Suisun community and, along with our neighbors, offering an authentic experience of this amazing wine region.”

The Wagner family sees itself as a partner among the existing Suisun Valley wineries.

“We don’t feel that we are in competition with our neighboring wineries,” they say. “One of the things that has struck us the most about Suisun Valley is the sense of community, and we deeply appreciate the warm welcome we’ve received from other farmers and vintners here. We are all striving toward the same goal, which is to help people discover and enjoy Suisun Valley.”

“Suisun Valley is one of California’s true agricultural gems, with striking pastoral beauty, family farms and extremely high-quality fruit,” they say. “We are thrilled to invite you to join us in exploring this remarkable wine region.”
