“Wapisa is the indigenous Patagonian word for ‘whale.’ Not only do whales frequent the nearby coast of our vineyards, but a local legend talks of a Wapisa that actually lived on land. Our wines, like the Wapisa, are an expression not just of their soils but of the nearby ocean as well. Patricia and her winery are dedicated to preserving the land and the sea. The winery not only follows sustainable practices, but Wapisa is a proud Partner in Conservation of the California Ocean Alliance.”
Wapisa produces Malbec, Pinot Noir Sauvignon Blanc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. You can enjoy sampling these Wapisa wines at Urban Hill’s Wapisa Wine Dinner which takes place on Wednesday, May 8, 2024 at 6 pm.
