What We Make

From vine to loaf

Every bottle and every crust carries the character of this place—the same sun, the same soil, the same steady hands.

Sierra Red Blend

Dark cherry, cedar, and a whisper of smoke—our flagship wine aged in French oak and shaped by dry mountain summers.

Valley Sourdough

Forty-eight-hour cold ferment, stone-ground Sierra wheat, and a starter that has lived in our kitchen since day one.

Blush of the Foothills

Bright strawberry and citrus notes with a dry finish. Harvested at dawn, pressed the same morning, bottled with care.

Hearth Rolls

Soft inside, shatteringly crisp outside. Baked in batches straight from the hearth oven, best eaten warm with cultured butter.

Our Story

Built slowly, the way good things should be

Red Paws Vineyard began as a simple conviction: that the best wine and the best bread share the same ingredients—time, patience, and respect for the land. We bought the property in Grass Valley with overgrown rows and a tired oven, and we started planting and mixing.

Today our vines stretch across the foothills and our ovens fire every morning before dawn. We work with local grain millers, wild yeast cultures, and the kind of slow fermentation that cannot be rushed. Everything we make is small-batch, hand-labeled, and made to be shared at a table.

“We don’t chase trends. We chase flavor—the kind that comes from doing things the hard way.”
