Truckee River Winery

Truckee River Winery Established in Truckee in 1989! "Highest and Coldest and Snowiest!" Established in 1989. Truckee River Winery is California's highest and coldest winery.
(559)

It all started in the garage of two Truckee locals. For 9 years, this ski lover and his wife, both UC Davis graduates, made great wine for their friends and family in the Truckee/Tahoe community before deciding to expand. They moved the winery into a two story barn on the river where they could make 1000 cases with the help of their daughter and friends. In 2009, they opened a tasting room on Broc

kway Road and expanded production to 2,500 cases annually. They specialize in single vineyard varietals and are known through out the area as producing high quality vintages year after year. In 2020, Truckee River Winery consolidated to their downtown Truckee production facility, closing the doors on their tasting room. They offer tours, tastings, by the glass and bottle on their petite patio in front of their iconic winery in the red barn. A lawn bocce court, and corn hole are onsite for customer enjoyment, and picnics are welcome. Please follow us on Facebook, Insta and email to hear about news, specials and updates!

It’s been a long week, and according to our sign, we are officially the smartest (and safest) choice. 😉🍷

​As seen on the board:
✅ Cheaper than gas.
🥬 Safer than lettuce (by far).
🍺 Better than beer... ? (You come decide).

​Grab a seat on the sunny brick patio, look up at the beautiful barn, and let us pour you a glass of our award-winning, minimal-intervention wine.

​We’ve been perfecting the pour for 39 years in the Tahoe area. Plus, all our wines are naturally vegan and gluten-free. It doesn’t get cleaner or tastier than this!

​👉 We are open all weekend and waiting for you. Tag your wine crew and come find out why we’re better than beer!
