Located along the Russian River in Mendocino County, RIVINO is our boutique family winery. We handcraft all our wines from select grapes grown on our family’s Schrader Ranch Vineyard. Being surrounded by grapes, and desiring to sample the fruit from our vines, we began making small amounts of wine for ourselves. Like many things in life, that simple desire has now evolved. Realizing that we were producing far more wine than we could consume on our own, we decided it was time to take the next step. Hence the creation of RIVINO, our 100% estate family winery.

RIVINO, is a combination of the words: RIVER and VINO. “Where the river becomes the wine.” With much excitement and hard work we are pleased to finally release our wines for others to enjoy.

When you look at a bottle of RIVINO, you will notice that each one displays how many cases we produced, and which bottle you own. Producing wine in these small lots on our own premises and with our own grapes allows us to have complete control over all aspects of the wine making process. We wanted to convey that our wine is not mass produced, and that each bottle is unique and characteristic to our winemaking desires and vineyard conditions.
