Tasting Tiburon, California

Windsor Vineyards is a winery located in Windsor, California, USA.

Founded in 1959 in Tiburon, California by winemaker Rodney Strong, Windsor Vineyards has been

referred to as a pioneer in the direct-to-consumer wine business,[1] and remains one of the largest

direct-to-consumer wineries in the United States.

History

Originally called Tiburon Vinters, in 1962 Strong relocated the winery to Windsor and renamed it to

Windsor Vineyards. The move allowed for increased production and was closer to Strong's

 Sonoma County vineyard properties. The winery was eventually sold to the Klein winemaking

family in 1989.

The winery changed hands again in 2000 when it was purchased by Australian wine unit Mildura Blass,

who added Windsor to its family of international wine holdings under the umbrella of Beringer Blass

Wine Estates.[2].

Most recently, vintner Patrick Roney purchased Windsor Vineyards in 2007[3], who subsequently

brought in winemaker Marco DiGiulio. Windsor continues to operate its tasting room in the

original Tiburon location.
