It all started 33 years ago in the garage of two Truckee locals. For 9 years, this ski lover and his wife, both UC Davis graduates, made great wine for their friends and family in the Truckee/Tahoe community before deciding to expand. They moved the winery into a two story barn on the river where they could make 1000 cases with the help of their daughter and friends.
In 2009, they opened a tasting room on Brockway Road and expanded production to 2,500 cases annually. They specialize in single vineyard varietals and are known through out the area as producing high quality vintages year after year. In January of 2020, the tasting room on Brockway Road closed indefinitely.

The Ranch

We were blessed to enjoy 10 amazing, heartfelt and community oriented years at our little "ranch" tasting room on Brockway Road. Thanks to all of the locals, second homeowners, returning vacationers, holidayers, brides, grooms, moms, dads, bocce enthusiasts, dogs, cats and even a few rabbits who made it so special.
