Old Fig Wine Cellars
It is reported, that this location is closed!
Old Fig Wine Cellars, a hyper-local winery, started as a backyard vineyard in the Old Fig Garden neighborhood of Fresno, California. They create approachable, dry wines, often using grapes from their own vineyard and partnering with local vineyards for some of their blends. Their “Drinkable” Merlot blend, for instance, combines grapes from their own vineyard with those sourced from Lemoore.
