Winery Description: Skinner Vineyards & Winery is a family-run estate winery situated high in California’s Sierra Foothills that revives the historic legacy of its Gold Rush era founder.

A focus on Rhône-style varieties and heirloom vines originally planted in the 1860s gives the portfolio distinct character while sustainable practices and a modern tasting facility reflect the current owners’ commitment to land stewardship and family heritage.
