Walking into the Vincent Arroyo Family Winery, one gets the sense that it has been here forever. Is it just the comfortable atmosphere of a big barn full of oak wine barrels that lend to the sense of permanence or is it because Vincent Arroyo Winery has been producing wine for over thirty years? Perhaps, it’s a combination of both. In the early ’70s, Vince Arroyo left behind a career as a mechanical engineer in the Silicon Valley and headed to Calistoga, at the northern tip of the Napa Valley. He felt much more at home close to the land, being able to see and taste the fruits of his labors.
