About Deaver Vineyards

Update: After 41 years in operation, Deaver Vineyards permanently closed in 2025. This page is kept as a historical record of the Deaver family winery, which was a Shenandoah Valley fixture known for Zinfandel, Port and sparkling wines. Public visits are no longer available.

The Deaver family has farmed Amador's Shenandoah Valley since the 1850s, and their old-vine Zinfandel, including blocks dating to the nineteenth century, ranks among California's most storied plantings, having supplied the fruit behind some of the wines that ignited Amador's modern revival. The family label pours estate Zin and foothill classics beside a pond on the historic ranch.

Six-plus generations of continuous farming give Deaver a claim few American wineries can match, and the old vines still deliver the dark, briary intensity that made the valley's name. Heritage you can taste.

Six generations and nineteenth-century Zin: the Shenandoah ranch whose old vines helped ignite Amador's revival.
