Gray Pine Winery

About

Gray Pine Winery takes its name from the native California Gray Pine trees prevalent in the area. Founded in 2011, the operation centers on a two-acre vineyard producing approximately 250 cases annually. The portfolio spans Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, alongside PennRidge Red Blend, a Bordeaux-style blend. The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon earned Double Gold at the 2026 California State Fair Commercial Wine Competition, while the 2023 PennRidge Red Blend took Gold. The tasting room opens most weekends from 12:30 pm to 4:00 pm without requiring reservations. Winery and cave tours are available by appointment.
