History

Antelope Valley Winery was founded in 1980 by Cecil and Marcy McLester as McLester Winery. Situated directly under the flight pattern of Los Angeles International Airport, they were well known for their Runway Red and Runway White wines. In 1990 the Winery was purchased by Frank & Cyndee Donato and Cecil McLester was retained as Winemaker. The Winery was moved to Lancaster, California in June of 1991. Our AV Estate Vineyards are located around the Winery and are planted to Merlot,Sangiovese and Zinfandel. We also purchase from Chavez Vineyards located on the East and West sides of the
Antelope
Valley to take advantage of the unique Terroir of this exciting new wine growing region. Chavez Vineyard Grape verities range from Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and
Muscat for the whites to Tempranillo,Malbec,Alacante, Syrah,
Shiraz, Zinfandel,Grenache and Merlot for the reds.
