George Webber as Count Haraszthy makes his triumphant RETURN to Buena Vista Winery --- where for 10 years he led tours, performed wine tastings, and brought the famous Hungarian
Count Agoston Haraszthy to LIFE!
Elegant Title
"The Count is one of my favorite characters," say's George Webber. "Ever since he stopped appearing at Buena Vista Winery,
he's been begging me to return.
So...once a week...the Count is BACK!"
Count Haraszthy started Buena Vista Winery in 1857, and by 1863 had built the first and second stone winery buildings in California, dug the first wine caves in California, created a modern agricultural corporation, sold $600,000 of stock, and journeyed to Europe, bring back 100,000 grapevine
cuttings of 353 different varieties!
Sadly, his story turns tragic!
OHH...look out for the crocodile in Nicaragua!
This 90 minute tour includes a

George Webber was named Sonoma County Tourism Bureau's Legacy Award Winner for 2022
And the award goes to…
In 2022, tourism brought approximately $2.3 billion to the Sonoma County economy—and each year the Sonoma County Tourism bureau recognizes companies and individuals who play an important role in the industry. Last year, Webber received the organization’s Legacy Award.
In bestowing the award, Claudia Vecchio, president and CEO of Sonoma County Tourism, said Webber “personifies the spirit of hospitality.”
“Through his depiction of ‘The Count’ Agoston Harazthy, he elevated the customer experience at Buena Vista Winery and personified the Sonoma County brand,” said Vecchio. “As we considered people who made a lasting difference in our industry, George was selected because of the standard he set for curating memorable guest experiences.”
Spanish philosopher George Santanya famously observed, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” With George Webber’s engaging portrayals of historical figures and vivid reenactments of Sonoma and California history, we are unlikely to forget such lessons learned.
And most of all, the
Count Tour at Buena Vista Winery
is FUN!
AND ... Buena Vista wine is absolutely DELICIOUS!
We will visit the main cave at Buena Vista --- inside the Champagne Cellars

When French wine visionary Jean-Charles Boisset aquired historic Buena Vista Winery in 2011, this building, the Champagne Cellars, had been severly damaged by the Loma Prieta Earthquake of 1989. It was understood that even a moderate tremblor would bring it to ruins.
Jean-Charles began the extensive retrofitting in 2012, and it re-opened on the day of the Count's 200th Birthday --- August 30th, 2012. Two years later, the South Napa quake hit, and this building--- which would have been a pile of rubble ----
suffered no damage.
Thank you, Jean-Charles for saving the MOST important historic winery building in America!
