After nearly two decades of crafting wines at Renwood, a winery I founded and named after my wife Rene, my family and I were ready for a new adventure. My daughters had a vision of opening an urban winery, while I dreamt of establishing a boutique winery where we could produce top-tier wines from the finest vineyards, ensuring every step of the process was under our control. This shared passion led to the birth of Cabana Winery in 2011.
Our journey began in Sacramento, where we spent the first seven years honing our craft and expanding our production. As our ambitions grew, we made the strategic decision to relocate to Lodi, a region renowned for its exceptional vineyards. At Cabana Winery, we pride ourselves on our meticulous approach to winemaking. We ferment our wines in small lots and age them in French oak barrels, a process that allows us to develop rich, complex flavors. With over 30 years of winemaking experience, I carefully blend each batch to create our award-winning wines.
Today, Cabana Winery produces 18 different wines sourced from the finest vineyards in Lodi, Napa, and Amador County. Our diverse selection ensures that there is something to please every palate, whether you are a fan of robust reds, crisp whites, or something in between.
The name “Cabana” was inspired by the idea that making wine should be as enjoyable and relaxing as a day at the beach. Growing up in New England, where beach days were a rare treat, this sentiment resonated deeply with me. We wanted our winery to be a place where visitors could escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and savor the simple pleasures of great wine and good company.
