Caymus-Suisun Winery was one of four Honor Award winners, the highest designation; 22 awards were given overall, from more than 200 submissions. Completed in spring 2022, the project establishes a new hospitality experience in an emerging wine region, fostering a sense of discovery and connecting guests to the surrounding landscape. A glass-enclosed tasting pavilion opens to let the Suisun Valley’s hallmark breezes flow through, while offering flexibility for our clients to host a range of gatherings.
