The winery and vineyard located at 3920 Hecker Pass Road took home a handful of awards from the California State Fair Wine Competition, Orange County Commercial Wine Competition and the San Francisco International Wine Competition.
Solis Winery was awarded a Gold Medal/Best of Region for its 2011 Estate Fiano ($25) and a Silver Medal/Best of Class of Region for its 2012 Port ($30) at the California State Fair Wine Competition.
