Jessie's Grove Winery

the 1800's, inherited her father's respect for nature and his love for the priceless oak trees on the family's ranch. She set aside a 32-acre oak-covered parcel and rejected all opportunities to develop the grove. The oak grove, ranch, and winery have been named in honor of Jessie. Except for the addition of modern stainless steel tanks, the winery authentically preserves the feel of the ranch in the 1800's. The tasting room is housed inside a rustic yet clean and comfortable barn with concrete floors accented with oriental rugs. The walls bear old photographs from the old days of the ranch. The vines flourish in the rich soil, and some of the original Zinfandel vines planted by Jessie in the 1890's are still harvested for wine. Additionally they produce Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Chardonnay, Carignane and a number of blends including the racy Earth Zin & Fire offering. The winery and ranch continue to be a family operation, from the caring of the ancient vineyards to hosting of the annual Groovin' in the Grove summer Rhythm and Blues concert series. There is a small self guided museum on the property with tours available on Sundays.
