THE SKINNER ADVENTURE IN WINE
As true adventurers, we never pass up the chance to discover new places – and the food, wine, and stories they hold. On one such journey through the Sierra Foothills, a chance encounter changed everything – we uncovered a long lost family legacy rooted in winemaking.
In 1861, our Scottish great-great-great-grandfather, James Skinner, established one of the first wineries in California. His pioneering spirit and passion for the craft sparked something in us.
Inspired by James Skinner’s story, we began our own adventure in wine – one rooted in heritage, driven by curiousity, and grounded in place. Today, our Wing and Green Valley ranches sit near the very land where James once planted his first vineyard and built his original winery.
