Bluford Wine

Our Story

For 8 generations, the Bluford family has been making fine wines with a deep respect for tradition. Their winemaking has become a perfected artform to be extremely proud of. Our story begins with Bluford Stice, the pioneer of our family. He made his way by wagon train to the Napa Valley in 1857. Later meeting his fate in 1863, while prospecting gold at his gold mine in Baker County, Oregon. Bluford’s determination to provide a better life for his family paved the way for 8 generations of success in the wine industry.

How we started

Jeff Parady was proud to produce the first vintage in 2008 with local winemaker and Vineyard manager Scott Brown of James Creek Vineyards, Jeff designed the Ore Cart label and the first vintage for commercial sale was in 2010, with the first vintage of Bluford coming from the 2012 harvest. We continue with the pride and passion of our ancestors for what the Napa Valley has given our family throughout the generations.
