Shadow Ranch is a small, family-owned Fair Play AVA winery set on a hilltop ranch with an 1888 homestead, old barn, and original outbuildings. Its ten-acre estate vineyard is planted to Sauvignon Blanc, Tempranillo, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, and Grenache in well-drained decomposed granite soils, with organically farmed vines and solar-powered operations.
The tasting experience leans into the ranch setting, with a tasting room and boutique, shaded picnic areas beneath oak trees, and tables on the Tasting Room Terrace. Guests can expect small-batch wines, including estate varieties and single-vineyard bottlings from high-elevation El Dorado sites, with Friday-through-Sunday hours and a relaxed outdoor format.
