The Pahrump Winery & Symphony's Restaurant

Since the Pahrump Valley Winery is located right next door to the Charleston Peak RV Park, we thought it prudent to visit and sample their goods. One of the owners, Gretchen, hosts the winery tour each day, seven days a week. She took us to the small area where they are growing their own grapes. She mentioned that they are "training" the grapes to grow properly since the winery was left in rather poor shape when they first purchased it several years ago. They can get about 1000 bottles of wine from their own grapes but they put out over 100,000 bottles a year so they have to import grapes from California.

We just happen to time things right since they were bottling some wine as we were touring the facilities. They only bottle at certain times and they actually bottle the wine manually, as you can see in these photos. Their wine list consists of 12 featured wines, from white to red. their most popular wine, Symphony, is also the name of their restaurant. They also have a gift shop.

Peg had lunch at Symphony with Judy, a friend she met upon our arrival at this park. She said the food was very good and the prices reasonable. We videotaped at the winery for our American RVer show, and it will be one of the segments of the May podcast. Gretchen and her husband, Bill, do a great job of running this winery, the oldest and one of only three in the state of Nevada!

In September of this year, by invitation only, the Pahrump Winery will uncork a 15 year old wine made from the original grapes grown here at this location. All the proceeds will go to charity...
