About Canard
Canard Vineyard has been quietly producing small production, hand crafted wines for almost thirty years.

Each year we produce eight unique estate wines: Coucher de Soleil Rosé, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Throwback, Adam’s Blend, The Rescuer, our Reserve Zinfandel and our Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. All of our wines are produced from estate grown grapes which are skillfully transformed into the finest expression of each varietal. We are dedicated to creating wines of distinction with an emphasis on quality over quantity.

People
Rich and Carolyn Czapleski searched for what seemed like an eternity for the perfect vineyard that could grow the red varietals they needed for a world class wine. This quest finally came to an end in 1983 when they purchased what is now Canard Vineyard. Over the years, Carolyn, who is a master gardener and interior designer, transformed the historic home and surrounding grounds into something nothing less then magical. Rich immediately got his hands dirty and tended to the vines. As a true gentleman farmer his philosophy was simple; “If you take care of the vines, the vines will take care of you.” He has spent the last thirty years doing exactly that but also allowing the natural terrior to influence the distinctive characteristics of the wine. With the help of their son Adam Czapleski, winemaker Brian Graham and sales and marketing director Adam Fox, Rich and Carolyn have assembled a small but talented team who share their desire to make the finest wines possible, while maintaining great integrity and respect for the land.
