Count Agoston Haraszthy, a Hungarian nobleman, founded Buena Vista Winery in 1857 and is known as the Father of California Viniculture because he did more than any other single person to create California’s remarkably successful wine world. From this site, the buena vista, or good view, includes the northern stretches of San Pablo Bay on clear days along with the hills above the East Bay, and to the west the hills separating the Sonoma Valley from Petaluma. Buena Vista was California’s first premium winery.
