Bella Vineyards, located in the heart of Dry Creek Valley, is a small winery and primarily operated by us, Scott and Lynn Adams. In 1994, we were married in the wine country and fell in love with the land. After spending many weekends up here exploring the area we decided our life goal would be to pursue two passions, outdoor living and fine wine. A year later we were able to begin that dream when Scott went into partnership with his father and three brothers, also dedicated wine lovers, to purchase the first vineyard in Dry Creek Valley. Later that year, we moved to the valley in order to manage the property. Then the adventure really began... for the next four and a half years, we immersed ourselves in classes and worked on the vineyards learning some of the finer points of grape growing. It was only after this time that we felt comfortable taking on the next challenge, winemaking.
In the meantime, our two daughters were born in the midst of setting up the winery. The baby pouch quickly became one of our most prized pieces of winery equipment. Both girls are already experienced grape samplers, assistant fork lift drivers, and expert carton stackers. Appropriately, the winery was named after them.
