History
Our vineyards were planted in 2001 and the winery was established in 2004. We are growing all the time with increased offerings of a number of award-winning wines such as chardonnay, syrah, zinfandel, estate barbera, petite sirah, viognier and a ruby and white dessert wine.
Specialties
The Perry's have been avid wine lovers for thirty years. After living in North Lake Tahoe for fifteen years they moved to Auburn in 1989. The couple raised sheep together and cared for their property overlooking the Sacramento Valley. Upon learning that local grape growers were bringing back the grape and wine industry as it was during the historic Placer County Gold Rush era, they decided to develop vineyards on their property. With the help of friends they planted Barbera and Syrah in the summer of 2002. Stewart and Stephanie are personally involved in every aspect of the vineyard management and wine making process. They are committed to making Fawnridge Winery a world-class success.
