Discover The Wineries

"Craft wine is motivation that drives winemaking past all the traditions, the scoring critics, and mass production conditions. It is not just about costs and profits, but about the creation of something unique and the communication with those who enjoy the exploration of wine. We want them to experience the philosophy of craft wine, understand the winemakers love for the land and gentle treatment of the vines. Like a painter with a canvas, each stroke is selected with care and intention to produce a wine for guests to enjoy."

"The Domaine Serene Wine Lounges were created with the intention of bringing communities of wine lovers together to enhance their wine knowledge and enjoy meaningful time together in a shared gathering space punctuated by wine-inspired cuisine, unique events, live music, and incredible service."

"Sparks flew in Yosemite during the spring of 1984. Michael’s eyes captured Rhonda’s across a crowded room at the Lodge. Over glasses of wine, conversations were shared, addresses exchanged, and a relationship ensued. Their first home in Fremont overlooked Weibel Vineyards where they dreamed of one day owning their own vineyard. At their second home, also in Fremont, they planted 18 vines. Before these vines reached maturity, they discovered Crane Ridge Vineyards in Livermore Valley. They purchased property with 8037 vines and built their dream home. Wood Family Vineyards winery shortly followed."

"Wren Hop began in 2008 after James McDonough and his father created a single barrel, unreleased, Pinot Noir “experiment” from their Russian River Valley site. The result was a silky, deeply-layered, black cherry behemoth, studded with spice and fine-grained tannins. Many pulled corks later and in true start-up fashion, Wren Hop Vineyards was born. Passion mixed with a dose of fruit-forward adrenaline. Kaboom."

"Jeremy Wine Co. is owned by Jeremy & Choral Trettevik. Their best memories were times when they sat down with friends & family, with a table full of delicious food and even more delicious wine. Together they began to dream of one day sipping their own wine at a table full of friends, family & food."

"The owners of Barsetti Vineyards are Janis Barsetti Gray and Richard Gray. Janis' grandfather Gottardo Barsetti came to America from the southern part of Switzerland in 1903 and settled in Galt in 1912. In 1941, Janis' father and grandparents bought the property where the vineyard exists today."
