Winery

Truckee River Winery

Walk-ins Welcome

Truckee River Winery was established in 1989, born from a passion for crafting exceptional wines and the love of skiing and snow in the vibrant landscape of Sierra Nevada mountains. Nestled alongside the picturesque Truckee River, the winery emerged as a bold venture to combine time-honored winemaking techniques with the unique climate of the Tahoe basin. Our founders sought to create a destination that embodies the spirit of adventure and the unparalleled beauty of the region, forging a path that celebrates both the artistry of fine winemaking and the rugged elegance of the surrounding wilderness. Since its inception, Truckee River Winery has remained committed to producing high-quality wines that reflect the extraordinary character of California, establishing a legacy that continues to captivate wine lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
