Truckee Family Wines, started by the Jones family in 1989 as Truckee River Winery, crafts high-altitude single vineyard wines capturing the bold Sierra Nevada and Foothills terroir with mountain freshness, dark fruit, citrus, and minerality. They operate two locations: the original homestead in Truckee and a new production facility at 174 Winery in Cedar Ridge near Grass Valley, where they harvested their first grapes in 2022. Small production emphasizes quality, earning consistent awards.
