Frias Family Vineyard
A native of Jalisco, Mexico, Manuel (Manny) Frias Sr. moved to the United States with his family in 1951. He grew up in San Francisco, California, where he was introduced to the luxury of Napa Valley wines in college. After the completion of three master’s degrees in Education and Administration, Counseling, and Spanish Literature, Manny couldn’t wait for the chance to buy property in the beautiful Napa Valley. In 1977, Manny was finally able to secure his dream of 100 hillside acres that primarily sat in the prestigious Spring Mountain District AVA. Today, Manny Sr. enjoys managing the Frias Family Vineyard with his family and a small crew, sourcing premium fruit from both Spring Mountain and Oakville AVAs. They specialize in small production and terroir-driven wines. sourcing premium fruit from both Spring Mountain and Oakville AVAs. They specialize in small production and terroir-driven wines.
