Our vineyard here on De Portola Road in Temecula was one of the first vineyards in Temecula, originally planted in the 1960s and then becoming part of Keyways Winery when it opened in 1989. The Veness family's first visit to the Temecula area was in the 1990s and they realised a dream in 2006 when they purchased this 13 acre vineyard with its well established Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc and Merlot vines. Discovering that there was around an acre unplanted we chose to plant Barbera - this Italian varietal has grown well and proved extremely popular. Our family continue to operate the De Portola vineyard and have expanded with an entirely new vineyard on nearby Via Tranquilo.
