Shake Ridge Vineyards is truly a multi-generational effort. The present ‘adult’ generation put in their hours as kids, pulling irrigation hoses, filling smudge pots and picking oranges and avocados on the original family homestead in Corona. When the adventure migrated to Shake Ridge Ranch, even the grandparents came out of retirement to join the endeavor.
The next generation is already earning its stripes. From bottling our homemade wine since they were old enough to take direction, to becoming the best vine workers around, they are a hard working, fun-loving crew. And boy they are smart! Their fresh young minds challenge the old-timers to rethink what’s always been done, giving our methods a fresh approach.
