Our Story
Family Owned, From the Beginning
Founder Al Scheid, though an outsider to the area, helped put Monterey County on California’s viticulture map. A 10-acre parcel on the outskirts of town quickly grew into a network of exceptional vineyards, and the man who first planted them became a leader and trailblazer in the wine—and especially grape-growing—industry.
Al’s passion for winemaking grew as his operations and vineyard land did. Since then, it has overflowed into the glasses of his children, Scott and Heidi Scheid, who keep the family business and Al’s legacy alive today.

Sustainable Grape Growing: From Planting to Harvest
Scheid Family Wines now presides over thousands of acres of estate vineyards in the Salinas Valley in the Monterey AVA, a region with abundant natural resources for growing diverse, high-quality grapes. With our focus on sustainable viticulture practices, we intend to keep it that way.
