Highest, Coldest and Snowiest!
Truckee River Winery was established in 1989, born from a passion for crafting exceptional wines and the love of skiing and snow in the vibrant landscape of Sierra Nevada mountains.
Nestled alongside the picturesque Truckee River, the winery emerged as a bold venture to combine time-honored winemaking techniques with the unique climate of the Tahoe basin. Our founders sought to create a destination that embodies the spirit of adventure and the unparalleled beauty of the region, forging a path that celebrates both the artistry of fine winemaking and the rugged elegance of the surrounding wilderness.
Since its inception, Truckee River Winery has remained committed to producing high-quality wines that reflect the extraordinary character of California, establishing a legacy that continues to captivate wine lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Needing more production space and wanting to expand into growing grapes, the Truckee River family decided to purchase an amazing horse property in Cedar Ridge, just a few minutes outside Grass Valley, and turn the 8 stall horse barn into a showcase production facility. In 2022, we harvested and crushed our first grapes on this site, focusing on Sierra Foothill vineyards.
With a vision as bold as our wines, we transformed the essence of this land, where horses once galloped into a vibrant vineyard that breathes life into the spirit of Truckee Family Wines. The unique terroir of the Sierra Foothills lends itself to rich flavors, allowing us to craft bold blends that tell the story of our pursuit for winemaking greatness.
As we delve deeper into this fertile ground, our commitment to quality remains unwavering. Each grape is nurtured with care, handpicked at the peak of ripeness, and crafted with precision. It’s not just about production; it’s about creating an experience, a taste of the adventure that defines us.
Join us as we continue to write our wine story, where every bottle embodies the vibrant spirit of our vineyard, the passion of our family, and the bold allure of the Sierra foothills.
Golden wine in the Gold Country.
