Volker Estate Cabernet Grape Vine Art 100% Reclaimed + Ready to Ship! 110422-20
This is a piece of California history. Ready to ship!
Limited Edition. I only have a rare few of these and that's it.
Want one of my amazing grapevine but dont have the space for the massive pieces?
After decades of wine production, these vines were retired to my shop to take on new life as art after decades of producing amazing wine.
This is a branch that broke off one of my huge Volker Cabernet grapevines and its so beautiful just by itself I couldn't let it go to waste.
HISTORY - The four hundred acre estate was originally part of the “Rancho Catacula” land grant, given to Joseph Ballinger Chiles in 1843 by the last Mexican governor of California. The Chiles family later sold a portion of their land to Francis Sievers, a German pioneer. In the 1870’s, Sievers founded Lomita’s Vineyard and Winery on the site. The original winery building, some of the tanks, and the original press still remain on the Estate. The oldest cabernet vines were planted by the Eisele’s in 1976 and continue to yield fruit of superb quality.
Unfortunately the Glass fire in Napa in 2020 burned more than 67,000 acres, destroying more than 1,500 structures, including part of the Volker Estate which is how I came by these amazing vines. Our friends at the winery arranged to salvage these and preserve them for future generations.
On a side note, please stop by the winery! They are SO nice and their wines are among our favorites of all time. You can also see the sister vines that survived the fire and see exactly where this vine came from.
Small enough to fit into any space and its perfect for a wine cellar or on top of the Mantle to remind you of your trip to California's premiere wine country. What better way to celebrate than having a vine that produced the wine you enjoy?
This piece was dried for 2 years then kiln dried, run through my process, then sealed with several coats of a clear UV sealer for a lifetime of enjoyment. A highlight to any room.
The metal field post next to it rusted over decades and the iron flakes were pulled up into the vine making these incredible swirls of red through the trunk. My cell pictures dont do this any justice!
Fully assembled. Just unpack and enjoy!
The base is hand made from a retired wine barrel head and firmly attached to the vine.

All our products are carefully handmade using 100% recycled materials. They are individually handcrafted, one of a kind creations, and not factory manufactured. It is therefore quite difficult to make identical items. Our attentive artisans make every effort to create only the best from materials with natural variations that should not be misconstrued as flaws. These make each piece of a handmade product charming and unique. The vine pictured is the one you will receive. Its awesome!!
