Description

Aonair is a family-run winery located in Napa Valley.

Our wines are limited in production and availability and it is with our greatest pleasure to share these wines with you during your tasting.
OUR STORY
Down a long country road lined with tattered fences and mossy boulders, amidst old oaks surrounded by vineyards, through tall grasses that give way to dusty dirt roads and ranches, and over a stream that blossoms into a lake, Aonair's story begins...
After spending his entire career in the wine business, Grant Long Jr. has settled into his role as proprietor of Aonair. For Grant, it all began as a teenager, when he made his first barrel of wine in his parents’ garage. Over the years, Grant has had the opportunity to work alongside some great mentors. With the practical knowledge he gained in the cellar and his instinct for business operations, Aonair was born.
The Aonair crest has personal significance, as Grant and his wife Megan take great pride in their Irish heritage. Aonair wines are identified by the coat of arms of the Hannigan clan, an ode to Grant's mother's maiden name. Appropriately enough, the word "Aonair" is Gaelic for "one man," and it reflects the hands-on approach Grant takes in every aspect of the wine-making process.
In 2015, Grant and Megan purchased the Conn Valley property, now home to Aonair Wines, with the dream of turning their wine brand into a family endeavor. Just after their first child was born, Megan left her career as a teacher to join what has become a family business. With her Midwestern values and Grant's determination to see the legacy of the brand continue for generations to come, they now work side by side to make their vision a reality. In each step that they take, they continue to honor the grassroots history of Napa Valley and those who pioneered the industry before them.
We are open for tastings by appointment only Tuesday-Saturday and closed on Sunday and Monday.
Aonair Wines, 2019 Mountains Proprietary Red Blend, 1.5L
The Mountains Proprietary is a rich and complex wine, with layered notes of black cherry, currants, and pomegranate. Firm and dusty tannins round out the understated savory notes of dried herbs, cocoa, and tobacco. This impressively dynamic wine has a long, structured finish, accented by a touch of minerality and vanilla.
