Long Creek Winery is a boutique winery encompassing thirty acres neatly tucked away in the Sierra Foothills within a stone's throw of massive Lake Oroville, seventy miles north of Sacramento, California. The vineyards and winery are uniquely situated on the western side of the Sierra mountain range where the four seasons are relatively mild. The vineyards enjoy a micro-climate that is comparable to some of the hillside country of central and northern Italy. The winery's close proximity to Lake Oroville with its 177 mile shoreline and 15,000 surface acres of water tempers the long hot days in the summer with gentle evening breezes giving the grapes a long growing season maximizing sugar and tannin development. Within this unique micro-climate the grapes enjoy the right combination of soil, sun, wind and water (the French call it "terroir"). | ||||||||||

Winemaker Lou and Yola Cecchi As hobbyists and home winemakers, the Cecchis began making wine in 1996 and entered their wine in various fairs winning awards, particularly the California State Fair, where their Cabernet Sauvignon received a bronze medal. The Cecchis then decided to become commercial winegrowers and in 2000 became a licensed bonded winery. They now have seven acres in vines with four varietals — zinfandel, syrah, cabernet sauvignon and muscat. The Cecchis run every facet of growing grapes and making wine themselves, including, vine tending, harvesting, fermenting, aging and bottling. They are a boutique winery and produce about 1500 cases annually. Their wines have been exceptionally well received by locals and by out of town guests who tour the winery facility. |
