History
The Ferguson Valley takes its name from settlers who farmed the area in the late 1800s. The region developed as dairy and cattle country before boutique wineries began planting in the 1990s. Fergus the Bull emerged as a symbol of the valley's rural character and welcoming spirit. The Ferguson Valley Wine Trail now includes over a dozen cellar doors, but Fergus reminds visitors of the pastoral heritage that underpins this gourmet destination. He's become a beloved photo stop for families and wine tourists alike.
