Viña Castellano Estate Vineyards and Winery offers an intimate setting with tasting at the bar or bistro in their stone barrel cave. The friendly and passionate staff (which often includes the family themselves) will walk you through the list of Spanish and Rhone wines along with encompassing a little family history. The tasting lasts approximately 30 – 45 minutes. We generally have between 7 to 9 wines in a flight, but can have as many as 10 on the bar when we do a special release. Tasting is $7 for a regular flight. There may be a slight additional charge if you wish to taste special releases when they are available.
Before launching this dream of PaZa Wines they set-aside some extreme sports and love of extraordinary automobiles (at least for a few more years), sold the newer home in the city, bought an older farm house, and traded the Porsche for a Kubota.
Founders Jim & Lynda Taylor and winemaker Ryan Taylor own the largest and most award winning winery in Placer County with a spectacular variety of hand-crafted wines you are sure to enjoy! The tasting room is a beautifully restored old 1950s milk house with elegant gardens that over look the lush vineyards that are sure to make your visit a sheer pleasure. But most of all, the wonderful people you will meet as you taste our sumptuous wines will bring you back again and again!
Lone Buffalo Vineyards, is a family-owned micro-winery – launched in 2007 as the culmination of owner and winemaker Phil Maddux’s thirty-five year passion for wine making. We do everything ourselves. From the harvest to the crush and from bottling to labeling, the production process is truly a labor of love.
The Perry’s have been avid wine lovers for thirty years. After living in North Lake Tahoe for fifteen years they moved to Auburn in 1989. The couple raised sheep together and cared for their property overlooking the Sacramento Valley. Upon learning that local grape growers were bringing back the grape and wine industry as it was during the historic Placer County Gold Rush era, they decided to develop vineyards on their property. With the help of friends they planted Barbera and Syrah in the summer of 2002. Stewart and Stephanie are personally involved in every aspect of the vineyard management and wine making process. They are committed to making Fawnridge Winery a world-class success.
