Wine Spectator: Napa’s Araujo Family Sells Wheeler Farms Winery To The Owner Of Bella Oaks

Suzanne Deal Booth, owner of the historic Bella Oaks Vineyard in Napa Valley’s Rutherford appellation, has finalized a deal to purchase the Wheeler Farms winery facility from the Araujo family, Wine Spectator has learned.

Wheeler Farms has a high-profile list of custom crush clients, including Booth’s own Bella Oaks label.

Wheeler—and other projects.

The deal also includes a nearly 7-acre vineyard located around the facility, which is situated on Zinfandel Lane, east of Highway 29. The purchase price was not disclosed. Wine Spectator has the full story.
