Clayton fire in Lake County destroys Lower Lake winery
Aug 16, 2016
(NBBJ) - Though the Clayton fire has destroyed one winery, Lake County vintners reported Monday their $61 million industry remained largely unscathed to date.
The most notable loss was Terrill Cellars and Tuscan Village Winery, whose structure was destroyed as the blaze spread through the Lower Lake business district. The building was mostly a pile of charred rubble on Monday save for part of its front facade.
“The Tuscan Village is gone,” read its Facebook page.
Other wineries were affected much less, some having to close part of the weekend as evacuations took place. Dustin Fults, proprietor of Fults Family Vineyards along Highway 29 north of Twin Lakes, said he closed his tasting room Sunday because the power went out.
The fire started only a quarter mile from his winery, which also includes a 4-acre vineyard, but moved east and has not threatened his property.
“We kind of lucked out,” said Fults, who has been operating his winery for almost two years. He noted a fire helicopter used his irrigation pond to grab water to help put out the blaze.
Staff at the Six Sigma Ranch and Winery, south of Lower Lake, were returning to the 4,000 acre ranch on Monday, a day after it was evacuated, said Christian Ahlmann, vice president and whose family owns and operates the property.
“We had to set up generators to keep our meat products safe,” Ahlmann said.
The blaze appeared not cross over into its property line, Ahlmann said. “It looks like the ranch has come out clean,” he said.
