Tamber Bey Wines

In 2012, Waitte purchased the 22 acre Sundance Ranch in Calistoga, and received approval to convert a covered riding arena into a 60,000 gallon wine making facility. Thomas Brown designed the facility with 36 closed and open-top fermentation tanks. The entire process of obtaining the permit and full construction took less that 14 months, and the Tamber Bey winery was in full operation for the 2013 harvest. Two 5,000-square-foot barrel rooms are maintained at different climate zones for optimal ageing.

Guests experience horses in wine country when they visit Tamber Bey Vineyards at Sundance Ranch. The tasting room is located in the original barn clubhouse, which was designed by renowned Napa Valley Architect Howard Backen. The 16-stall barn surrounds the courtyard, where guests can taste wine and mingle with the horses. Spectacular view of Mount St. Helena and the Palisades frame the setting.
