Under his grandmother’s influence, John Aver developed a passion for wine at an early age. John ventured into planting vineyards and making wine which evolved into a professional venture for he and his wife Carolyn, Aver Family Vineyards. John farmed his vineyards organically and regeneratively, growing grapes that produced outstanding wines. Together, he and Carolyn created a loyal following that embodied their winery’s philosophy, “where friends become family”. Now, as retired vignerons, John and Carolyn spend their time sharing their passions for wine and food.
