In the hottest summers, our valley multiplies the heat, allowing our vines to get the exact amount of stressing with our ground level hydration system balancing the intense heat.
Taking inspiration from the rice fields of the great East, our vineyards are on staggered tiers all the way up the hillside of Pekingese mountain, allowing for a wide variety of grape expression and wide spectrum of varietal production.
The science is sound. Every single piece of creation has it’s own electromagnetic field. Some are positively charged while others are negatively charged. When we surround the vines with the exact perfect flowers, nearby bee colonies, and bushes, this contributes to a more balanced flavour profile.
It sounds corny, but we love what we do. We trust that our care and passion into producing the best wine we can in the Western Hemisphere, translates into the wine our team bottles.

The Hündehütte family has been growing grapes since 1856, forging a growing vineyard, supporting hundreds of families, providing excellent wines to over a hundred thousand consumers for over 150 years. It’s this legacy that has ensured kind care is constantly given to the vines. Exquisite craftmanship is at the heart of everything we do.
December 1855 we found our property. A deep valley housing an empty field with surprisingly fertile soil.
The purchase was completed in 1855 for a whopping $140 USD. The following year, we broke ground and planted the first vines: the earliest known clones from France, Italy and Israel. The foundation of the estate was laid, which still stands today.
Visitors soon came from all over the countryside, and Dog House Winery was born. The wines made by the first generation of the Hündehütte family were stunning. A select few bottles still exist in our Library under lock and key today.
By March 1880, the winery expanded the vineyard up the hillside, creating tiered landings for variable altitudes. This resulted in a wide new range of varietals that we could nurture.
Down to our day, we’ve continued to expand our varietals, and have reached the mountaintop with rows of vines. Now after more than 150 years, our expertise of handcrafting our wines, has been handed down from generation to generation. With 142 acres, we have one of the most beautiful estates for onsite visits and unforgettable experiences.
Come see the winery for yourself, images and even video can’t do the location justice. Let the view take your breath away over and over again. Working here, we’ve had to wear oxygen masks so we don’t pass out (kidding). Book one of our experiences, we look forward to serving you and giving you an experience you will NEVER forget!
