About San Joaquin Winery
San Joaquin Winery grew from farmer Steve Schafer's straightforward goal: make wine from the Madera County vineyards he knew as a grower. The result is a farm-first winery welcoming visitors at 21821 Avenue 16.
The grower's pedigree shows in the framing, wines presented as the endpoint of specific valley fields rather than abstract cellar craft, giving the trail its purest expression of Madera agriculture in a glass.
Confirm current hours before visiting; the winery's own site and the trail roster support an active public operation.
A grower's winery in the truest sense: Steve Schafer's Madera fields, finished in the bottle.
