Viader Vineyards & Winery (commonly written as VIADER and pronounced "vee-uh-dare") is a winery situated in Deer Park, California, United States, positioned at an altitude of 1,400 feet. Established in 1986 by Delia Viader, an immigrant from Argentina who secured a loan from her father, the winery focuses on cultivating red grape varieties such as Cabernet sauvignon, Cabernet franc, Petit verdot, and Malbec. Their production mainly consists of blends crafted from these grapes. According to Wine Industry Advisor, the winery sells 96% of its wines directly to visitors rather than through general retail channels.
Since its founding, Viader has upheld organic certification. In 2006, leadership transitioned to Delia Viader’s son, Alan Viader, who assumed the role of head winemaker and manages both vineyard cultivation and production processes.
