Shadow Mountain Vineyards is the oldest producing vineyard in San Diego County, owned and operated by a master winemaker, that produces award winning wines which beat vintages from the country's most famous wine regions.
A blend of three grapes that the original owners Gus & Helen planted in 1945: Syrah, Grenache and a splash of Barbara.
Silky smooth on the palate with medium body.
Seasoned in American oak barrels for 18 months.
Great with all Italian dishes.
Our oldest vineyard was planted in 1945 by Italian immigrants, Agusto Mase and his wife Helen. It was the climate, much like the area of Italy that they originally came from, that convinced them to settle down on Sunshine Summit. The warm, dry climate and the sunny hillsides were the perfect place to plant their roots. And those roots still run deep.

Try to have breakfast on the way and bring your own picnic lunch for an afternoon delight of wine and food at the winery.
We'd love to give you a tour of the vineyards! There really is a story for just about everything up here, and plenty of little hidden gems to find. Just ask!
