- HISTORICAL INTEREST -

HISTORICAL INTEREST - DERBES VINEYARDS

The main structure was built ~1880 as a mule barn, the mules watered by the onsite spring.

These mules pulled hops up the hill through the property in the days before the Wohler Bridge was built (1921). Most of what is the Russian River Valley today used to be the Wohler Ranch.

There were eight hop kilns across the street. The mule barn became the residence of the foreman of the Wohler Ranch.

Joe Rochioli Sr. lived in the house in his days as foreman. When the hops market declined, it was Rochioli and a handful of others who had the vision to plant Burgundy varietal grapes in the hilly Middle Reach along the Russian River. Today, Russian River Valley is the premier viticultural area of Sonoma County, with the Westside and Eastside wine tasting routes the most popular. Wohler Road connects the two routes, and is the southern entry point.
