About Rulo Winery

Rulo was founded in 2000 by Kurt and Vicki Schlicker and remains unusually hands-on, with the owners closely involved in farming, winemaking and hospitality. In the glass, Rulo Winery is best understood through its broader style rather than any single vintage. The portfolio has explored Chardonnay, Syrah, Cabernet and other varieties with a technical, small-lot approach. If a particular Rulo Winery wine or vintage matters to you, check the current offerings before visiting.
On site, the hospitality style at Rulo Winery helps determine whether it is the right stop for your day.
