Solano County Wineries

 

Mangels Vineyards, Suisun Valley

Mangels Vineyards, founded in 2009 by Gary Mangels and winemaker Gina Richmond, makes premium wines from Suisun Valley varietals. The Mangels family began planting grape vines and winemaking in the late 1800s, becoming one of the largest producers in the state. While the family shifted away from winemaking in the 1940s, they maintained a ranching business and continued to grow grapes for other wineries. In 1988, Gary Mangels purchased land that would eventually become Mangels Vineyards.
