Specialties
From our Livermore Valley vineyards, our portfolio of wines includes traditional Bordeaux-style red blends of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon from the Crown Block vineyard, Chardonnay and a field-blend Zinfandel/Petite Sirah from the DeMayo vineyard, Merlot from the Picazo vineyard, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah and Syrah from the Madden Ranch vineyard. From Rava’s Black Jack vineyard in Monterey we source our Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc. Each wine features an image of its terroir painted by Darcie, which serves to communicate the characteristics of each vineyard.
History
Established in 1996.
Started as a small family operation in 1996 focused on small lot, single vineyard wines, Darcie Kent Vineyards has been gradually expanding to restaurants nationwide for the past three years. In early 2013, we acquired the Estate Winery and Vineyard formerly occupied by Cedar Mountain Winery, and began a state of the art renovation. Now, we at Darcie Kent Vineyards are excited to invite you to our new home at 7000 Tesla Road in the scenic Livermore Valley.
Meet the Business Owner
Darcie K.
Business Owner
Darcie’s great, great grandfather, Fritz R. Ruegsegger, came to America with his family from Switzerland in 1875 to pursue a career in winemaking. In 1883, Fritz’s son and Darcie’s great grandfather, Christian Ruegsegger started his own winery, the Alpine Winery, in St. Joseph, Missouri, which held bond #62 in the United States. Christian hand painted his own wine labels. Darcie Kent now proudly carries on the family tradition as a fifth generation vintner and artist for the winery that bears her name, Darcie Kent Vineyards. Like her great grandfather before her, Darcie uses her original art for her wine labels and strives to capture the unique spirit of each vineyard, in her breathtakingly beautiful labels that grace each bottle. Along with her husband David and her two daughters Kailyn and Amanda (sixth generation), Darcie Kent is committed to combining Livermore Valley terroir along with her artistry and passion to forge and sustain a world-class, family owned estate winery.
