History

Established in 1998.

Following retirement and satisfying a dream we purchased rural property in Loomis where we planted 3 acres of wine grapes with the intent to make wine. After several years of vine growth and adding more vineyard property our first crush was in 2001. Family members provide the talent to operate a vineyard and winery. In earlier years the property was once a dairy, a vineyard, pasture for horses and now returned to lush green vineyard. A stage coach line ran along the side of the property and miners use to pan for gold in the nearby creek. A lot of history can be found in gold country.

Meet the Business Owner

Ron M.

Business Owner

Having an engineer that serves as a jack of all trades is a necessity as things are always breaking. Equipment overly used three months out of the year and then stored until needed again usually requires adjustment or repair. Ron provides that talent from hands on experience and working 35 years as an engineer and researcher having achieved a PhD early in his career. That talent is being handed down to other members of the family that will hopefully carry on the business when retirement knocks again.
