About Cline Family Cellars - Contra Costa Roots
Fred Cline founded his winery in Oakley in 1982 on the strength of the area's old Mourvedre, Zinfandel and Carignane plantings, some of California's most venerable own-rooted vines, before moving the winery to Carneros in 1989.
The company still acknowledges and works its Contra Costa old-vine roots, and those Oakley vineyards remain the historical heart of the label's ancient-vine bottlings.
There is no Contra Costa visitor location: public tasting happens at the Sonoma estate on Arnold Drive, covered on the Cline Family Cellars page. This page keeps the origin story on the county's map, where it belongs.
Before Carneros, there was Oakley: the ancient-vine ground where Fred Cline started it all in 1982.
