McManis Family Vineyards
McManis Family Vineyards is a portfolio of estate grown, award winning wines from California. The McManis family has been farming in the northern interior region of California since 1938. Fourth generation farmers, Ron McManis and his wife Jamie, founded McManis Family Vineyards in 1990. From the beginning, their mission was simple: every bottle of McManis Family Vineyards should consist of “quality wine at an honest price.” They now farm over 3,600 acres of premium wine grapes from premier growing areas in California.
Slow Press
A slow and controlled production method is a key differentiator. Our gentle handling technique presses grapes slowly, opening up the skin to release the purest, most concentrated flavor. A beautiful blend of artistic talent and insurmountable flavor — taste the difference in Slow Press.
LangeTwins Family Winery & Vineyards
For five generations, the LangeTwins family has been a sustainable grower of premium grapes in both the Lodi and Clarksburg Appellations of California, where they currently farm over 7,000 acres. In 2006, LangeTwins opened a winery in Acampo, CA, just 90 miles east of the San Francisco Bay Area, to showcase their passion for growing superior wine grapes and creating sustainably farmed, quality wines. The vineyard and winery operation is owned and managed by twins Randall and Brad, their wives Charlene and Susan, and fifth generation LangeTwins family members Marissa, Aaron, Philip, Kendra and Joseph. The LangeTwins family is committed to sustainable winegrowing, habitat restoration, and renewable energy.
