Meet The Wine Producer Behind The Bottle

A brief look at the producer’s heritage and winemaking approach.

Quady Winery

Quady Winery was founded in 1975 by Andrew Quady and his wife, Laurel, in California's Central Valley. Andrew Quady developed a particular passion for aromatic and dessert wines at a time when these styles were relatively overlooked in California, helping to establish a reputation for wines that were both distinctive and expressive.

The winery became particularly associated with Moscato and Muscat-based wines, as well as naturally sweet and fortified styles. Andrew's willingness to experiment with varieties and winemaking techniques helped establish Quady as one of California's leading specialist producers of aromatic wines.

Over the years, Quady has remained a family-focused winery with a philosophy centred on making wines with personality rather than simply following mainstream trends. Its wines have helped demonstrate the quality and versatility of aromatic grapes grown in California, earning the producer a loyal following among wine enthusiasts looking for something different.
