About Shenandoah Vineyards
Shenandoah Vineyards is a Sierra Foothills pioneer, founded in 1977 by Leon and Shirley Sobon in Amador County's Shenandoah Valley. The family, who also run nearby Sobon Estate, built a reputation on robust, characterful Zinfandel, the signature grape of these old Gold Country vineyards, along with ports and other varieties.
The tasting room is relaxed and art-filled, an easygoing spot to explore Amador's warm, spicy reds. For anyone touring the Sierra Foothills, it is a friendly, well-established anchor with real history.

Leon and ShirleyLeon and Shirley Sobon purchased the Steiner Road Plymouth property in 1977 when Amador County was virtually unknown as a serious wine region and when the Shenandoah Valley's extraordinary old vine Zinfandel heritage plantings had not yet attracted the critical attention they now command.

The Amador CountyThe Amador County Shenandoah Valley, where some of California's oldest continuously producing Zinfandel vines were planted by Italian immigrant gold miners and farmers in the 1860s-1890s on the red volcanic clay soils of the Plymouth foothills, produces old vine Zinfandel of extraordinary concentrated and individually heritage-vine character that no other California growing environment replicates.
