About the winery · Cupcake Vineyards ›
Cupcake Vineyards is a wine brand of The Wine Group, based in Ripon, California. The brand sources wines from multiple regions rather than a single estate, including California, New Zealand, Italy and Spain. Cupcake describes Jessica Tomei as its winemaker and positions the range as approachable wines for everyday occasions. The current official Cupcake website's Bubbles section lists Prosecco, Sparkling Rose and mimosas; this Cava appears to be a distribution-retail item rather than a currently featured product page.
