The Winery

The winery at Amizetta was built in 1984 after Spencer and Amizetta finished planting their terraced hillside vineyards. They wanted to create a small facility that matched the average annual yields of their land’s harvest. They enlisted the services of Justin Meyer (the founder and winemaker of Silver Oak Cellars) to help design their dream winery. Together the three created a design they dubbed ‘a winemaker’s winery.’

At the same time, Spencer and Amizetta built their Victorian-style dream home directly adjacent to the winery. The home’s proximity to the winery was a testament to their passion. They wanted their vineyard, winery, and family to all be together.

The Clark’s steep hillside property also provided the perfect terrain for a 800sq ft cave original built in the early 2000’s. The mountain’s natural insulation creates constant cool temperatures and perfect humidity for the aging of wine.

Estate Update: The Evolution of Amizetta

In 2021, the Clark family embarked on a comprehensive project to elevate every facet of Amizetta, focusing on three core pillars: winemaking, production capacity, and hospitality.

The Winery

Our journey began with a complete transformation of the original winery building into a state-of-the-art production facility. Outfitted with advanced winemaking technology—including an optical sorter and custom fermentation tanks tailored to individual vineyard blocks—the new facility was fully operational in time for the 2025 harvest.

The Cave

In late spring 2022, we broke ground on a significant expansion of our wine cave. While our historic 800-square-foot cellar served us beautifully for decades, it could no longer comfortably accommodate our 200-barrel annual production. Now spanning 8,000 square feet, the expanded cave is nearing completion and will soon bring 100% of Amizetta’s production and barrel aging back to the estate.

Hospitality

The final phase of our estate evolution is the construction of a new hospitality building. Designed to ensure every guest enjoys an intimate, world-class tasting experience, this spectacular new space is currently underway, and we look forward to sharing it with you the near future.
