Founded and led by the Wagner family, Caymus-Suisun Winery is nestled amongst farmland in the rolling hills of valley cooled by the breezes of the Pacific Coast, in Northern California. Suisun Valley is a designated American Viticultural Area (AVA), meaning it is recognized as a distinguished region for wine production.

The new winery includes a 5,500-square-foot / 511-square-meter glass tasting room pavilion with retractable walls and operable transom windows on all four sides that allow the building to open completely to the surroundings; It offers visitors an exploratory experience spread across two buildings and traversable vineyards with a range of indoor and outdoor seating, tasting, and retail space.

Visitors approach the tasting room by crossing a courtyard adjacent to the main arrival area, which is anchored by an open-air welcome bar crafted of locally-sourced elm and concrete. Throughout, a palette of hardwoods, ground-face concrete block, engineered timber, and poured concrete creates a humble yet refined atmosphere. Overhead, a pyramidal oculus draws daylight into the heart of the building, emphasizing dramatic changing light throughout the day. At the pavilion’s west end, visitors can partake in a full tasting. This area opens to a terrace capped by a 30-foot-long cantilevered roof that appears to hover weightlessly overhead while focusing views to nearby mountain ranges.

The interior design of the different spaces was done by The Bureau (led by Sarah Giesenhagem), in collaboration with Thad Geldert of Geldert. At Caymus-Suisun, the majority of the furnishings, fixtures, art, and attire were custom crafted by over 30 creative collaborators. These thoughtfully designed and curated components provide captivating and meaningful experiences for visitors, conveying a level of intention and artisanship reflective of Caymus-Suisun’s multi-generation winemaking family and their pioneering nature.
