Pahrump Valley Winery of Nevada - Pahrump, Nevada - Wineries on Waymarking.com

In 2005, Winery owners Bill and Gretchen Loken, bought the other owners and became owners. Prior to that, the Winery hadn't been a success, Loken felt, because an arm's-length approach led to a less-than-stellar product. They hired a consultant, who schooled them in the ways of winemaking and winery production. Their efforts have paid off. In one room of the newly refurbished building is a display of wines that have won competitions. Since 2004, Pahrump Valley Winery has won almost 200 national awards.

One of the Lokens' goals was to produce at least some of their wines from Nevada-grown grapes -- which, in the case of reds, had never been done on a commercial basis. And Nevada's first commercial red wine, the 2005 Nevada Ridge Zinfandel, won a gold medal. That wine is no longer available, but this summer they'll release Nevada's first cabernet sauvignon, first merlot and third zinfandel.

Pleased with their success and also the possibilities, the Lokens added 1,200 new vines of both Zinfandel and Syrah grapes to their three-acre vineyard. They started pulling small grapes from the new vines in the fall of 2011.

They offer free daily tours of the winery and the grounds at 11:30 / 1:30 / 3:30 p.m. We explain the history of the winery, growing grapes in Nevada and an overview on how we make wine. You should allow about 30+ minutes for the tour.

Groups of 8 or more require advance booking and are subject to a $5 tasting fee. ( applies to purchase )
