About us

Family owned and handcrafted, the wines of Lion Ranch are a modern expression with a nod to history

Vineyard & Terroir

Our original estate vineyard was planted in 2011, filled with white Rhone varietals. We tended every single plant of our 5 acre property with our own hands, with occasional help from willing family and friends. All 4000+ plants were handled repeatedly as they were trained, pruned, trained, pruned, over and over. A true “labor of love,” raising grapes takes a lot of determination, commitment, patience, and backbreaking labor. Even in our glorious, Mediterranean climate, it was hot, dusty, dirty work…with beautiful, delicious rewards.

Our red Rhone varietal vineyard is being planted Spring 2016.

At The Winery

We have an open air tasting room, allowing views of the surrounding hills, new vineyard, and grazing sheep. Taste our flight, then stay a while with a picnic, play some bocce, and enjoy some live music in the summer.
