About The Sherwin Story
Sherwin Family Vineyards, perched at the pinnacle of Spring Mountain, began its remarkable journey in 1996. Steve and Linda Sherwin made the decision to leave behind the frenetic pace of their Bay Area lives and embrace the quiet beauty of the Mayacamas Range’s eastern slope. With the guidance and support of close friends, they acquired a picturesque 30-acre property and soon set about realizing their new dream. Their first wine, the 1996 Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, made its debut in 1999, marking the beginning of what would become a cherished family legacy.
On September 28th, 2020, disaster struck Sherwin Family Vineyards. The Glass Fire, which would go on to burn for almost a month and consume close to 70,000 acres, burned the winery to the ground. A life’s work, up in smoke. However with perseverance, it would not be an end, but a new beginning.
Today the estate’s tasting room and expansive patios offer breathtaking vistas of the surrounding vineyards and lake. This idyllic setting provides a welcome retreat from the ordinary, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty and tranquility of our mountain estate. The Sherwin legacy lives on through Steve & Linda’s son, Matt, who now serves as the estate’s General Manager and Winemaker. With his father’s ongoing support and guidance, Matt continues to uphold the family’s deep-rooted commitment to producing exceptional wines and providing genuine, heartfelt hospitality.
