Old Julian Vineyards and Winery

About The Winery

Founded by Lynn and Lee, the vineyard began as Lee and Lynn's dream to create exceptional wines that would bring people together. After Lynn lost her battle with cancer, Lee faced the challenge of keeping her legacy alive. He brought his sister, Shelli, on board, who shares the same passion for winemaking, and together they are committed to nurturing the vineyard. Through their hard work and dedication, they continue to and develop the award-winning wines and brandy of Old Julian, ensuring that Lynn's spirit remains an integral part of every bottle.
