Shenandoah Vineyards in Plymouth, CA, was founded in 1977 by Shirley and Leon Sobon. Leon's gift for home winemaking led him to leave Lockheed and begin a new career as a Winemaker.
The selection of a winery site in the Shenandoah Valley of Amador County was well researched. Leon and Shirley and their six children moved to the old Steiner Ranch, outside Plymouth, CA, planted a vineyard, and converted the old stone garage to the Shenandoah Vineyards winery.
Today ... the winemaking and business aspects continue to be a family affair. Shirley is the Finance & Gallery Manager while Leon contributes his years of winemaking knowledge to every vintage. Sons Paul, Robert, and grandsons Austin and Nathan, continue the family tradition we began all those years ago.
In honor of Valentines Day, we will have some special chocolates to pair with the Sobon wines that we will be tasting! All the chocolates for this meeting were purchased from The San Francisco Chocolate Factory.
