Truckee Family Wines, established in 1989 as Truckee River Winery, crafts high-altitude single vineyard wines capturing the unique Sierra Nevada and Foothills terroir with bold flavors like dark fruit in reds and citrus minerality in whites. The family operation has expanded to two locations: the original homestead in Truckee and a new production facility and tasting room near Grass Valley. Small production emphasizes quality, earning consistent awards for their mountain-inspired wines.
