Our Story

We are very pleased that you have chosen to visit our website. Fenton Herriott Vineyards is a family owned and operated winery run by proprietor Guy Herriott.

We chose to plant our vines amidst the steady sun and rich soil of Placerville California. As a result of the great advantages of this viticulture region, and following a tradition of master craftsmanship, our family is intimately involved in every step of the winemaking process.

Fenton Herriott Vineyards first began making wine in 2003. Since then, we have worked diligently to produce many outstanding wines as well as a wide variety of wines. Our varieties include Chardonnay, Rose' Syrah, Gewurztraminer, Sangiovese, Barbera, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, White Port, and a Ruby Syrah "Port".

Souls of poets dead and gone,
What Elysium have ye known,
Happy field or mossy cavern,
Choicer than the Mermaid Tavern?
Have ye tippled drink more fine
Than mine host's Canary wine?
John Keats (1795–1821)
