A Premium Domestic Alternative to European Imports
For decades, professional kitchens relied almost exclusively on imported European options for their gourmet needs. Our collection of premium California vinegars changes that standard with refined domestic craftsmanship. We source our base ingredients with meticulous care to ensure our finished product delivers the exact woody complexity and rich aroma required by elite chefs.
Our unique California sherry vinegar offers an incredible depth of flavor that sets it apart from standard wine styles. The slow maturation process inside scorched oak barrels coaxes out subtle notes of roasted nuts, dried fruits, and warm caramel. This exquisite combination makes our gourmet sherry vinegar highly versatile. Use it to brighten rich lentil soups, deglaze pan drippings for poultry reductions, or create complex vinaigrettes for bitter winter greens. Experience the unmistakable quality of slow-fermented domestic vinegar in your home kitchen.

Just the best!
I was not a fan of red wine vinegar until I had this and now I can't be without it! It really is the best!
I've been using mostly the Chardonnay wine vinegar and the olive oil just straight on my summer salads -- so light and bright and tasty! All I need, really. The olive oil was particularly surprising because so flavorful, and I've already used it up. Thinking next to see if you have balsamic, and another bottle of the oil...
First, you have the amazing artisan flavor of the acv then the maple is a marvelous addition. Great for vinaigrettes, used it in my Boston baked beans, nice where you need that lift of acidity and brightness.
I think I have 10-12 “flavors” of your vinegars. I love and use them all. My grandson enjoys experimenting with the flavors and has become a vinegar lover. My dad taught me the virtues of vinegar in cooking and oh how I wish I could share these wonderful flavors with him.
The variety of these wonderful vinegars is impressive
The variety of these wonderful vinegars is impressive. They have such wonderful depth and add so much flavor to any recipe. They are now the only vinegars I use. The company and service are equally stellar.
Every flavor of vinegar that I have purchased has been AMAZING!! Am running out of pantry space
Every flavor of vinegar that I have purchased has been AMAZING!! Am running out of pantry space for all the varieties that I now have. Hopefully the hibiscus flavor will return
Fresh, smooth, complimentary and perfect. I will never use another apple cider vinegar!
Apple cider vinegar can be harsh. NEVER from American Vinegar Works!
The only time I've had better is when I made my own mother red wine vinegar
This was an experiment in culinary school. After I decanted the first batch of vinegar, I put my mother in a plastic bag and took it back to my apartment. Each proceeding batch from that same mother kept getting better and better. After I moved, My girlfriend at the time thought this was a disgusting mess - and chucked out my mother in the dumpster. It wasn't until I found American Vinegar Works that I can have the same superior quality with less of a gross mess! Thank you American Vinegar Works! Bar none, this is the best red wine vinegar anywhere.
Smooth, clean, delicious, compliments all my Asian, Asian Fusion, and non-Asian dishes harmoniasly (a true team player)
I cannot rave about American Vinegar Works enough. I will Never go back to mass-produced, grocery store crap again.
