Sierra Knolls Vineyard
|
|
Sierra Knolls is a small family-owned and operated vineyard and winery located in the Sierra Foothills, between Auburn and Grass Valley off of Hwy 49. We produce small lots of fine wine by hand with close attention to every detail of the wine-making process. Every step is completed by the owners, John & Linda Chase and Steve & Brenda Taylor. Wines are aged in French & American oak barrels in our 50 foot cave. Beginning with our first vintage in 1999, our wines have been known for consistently high quality, robust fruit, big noses and long satisfying finishes. Come visit our beautiful acreage, vineyard, and friendly tasting room. Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy on our patio with a magnificent view of the valley and coastal range. Barrel taste in our cave and chat with the winemakers.
