Our Story
Mark and Therese Adams have deep roots in vine growing and wine making and they have planted these roots in Western Placer County. The vineyards “Syrah Noir” planted in 1999 and “Barbera” planted in 2000 are producing luscious fruit. The Adams selected the Barbera grape because of its rich history in the area. The Italian Barbera was originally introduced to Placer County by the 49’ers during the 19th century Gold Rush. This varietal is also particularly well suited to the soils and oak savannah micro-climate of the Placer County Sierra Foothills where Rancho Roble Vineyards and Winery are located.

Rancho Roble Vineyards is a family winery. Mark Adams manages the winery and the vineyards. Under Mark’s care this boutique winery produces one of California’s hidden treasures, our Estate Bottled Barbera. The limited production of our wines gives us the ability to take the greatest care in producing what we consider to be California heritage wines.

Therese Adams was raised in the Napa Valley in the 1960’s and still maintains close friendships with some of Napa Valley’s oldest vineyard owners and wine-makers. It is through those relationships that Rancho Roble Vineyards® is able to procure award winning Napa Valley wines for our Premier and Terra Cotta labels. Under the Terra Cotta label we offer a distinguished California Red Wine and California White Wine and we take care to price them affordably for your daily dinner table. Under the Rancho Roble Premier label we offer more unique wines that are suitable for special occasions and gift giving.

Rancho Roble Vineyards® is owned and operated by Rancho Roble Vineyards®, LLC, the first bonded winery in Lincoln, California.
