About Twin Coyotes Winery
Twin Coyotes Winery is named for the pair of coyotes that the founders observed frequenting the El Pomar District estate property — native California canids whose presence indicates the ecological health of the surrounding habitat. The coyote as winery identity is both specific (these two specific animals on this specific property) and symbolic: the coyote in Native California mythology is the Trickster, the shape-shifter, the animal who navigates between worlds.
The Union Road estate produces Zinfandel, Syrah, Grenache, and Cabernet Sauvignon from El Pomar District calcareous estate vineyards with the native-animal-habitat philosophy the twin coyotes naming implies. The walk-in format is dog-friendly, picnic-welcoming, and family-hospitable — the coyotes' territory opened to visitors.
