Rugged land, rebellious spirit, real wine

Some winemakers follow tradition. Clay Shannon carved his own path. In the untamed ridges of Lake County, California, where the land is harsh and the elements don’t forgive, he saw opportunity. No easy farming. No shortcuts. Just a relentless pursuit of bold, authentic wines—crafted with grit, guts, and an unwavering respect for nature.

Fore Family Vineyards is a family affair. Since 2005 they have been producing wines with grapes grown in the Lake County region. Currently the varietals includeGrenache Blanc, Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenache Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Zinfandel. All wines are crafted from grapes Fore Family Vineyards grows.
Sustainable growing techniques are used to grow the finest wine grapes possible at Fore Family Vineyards.
