Coufos Cellars is making a niche for itself by producing fine Rhone style wines such as Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Viognier. Other lesser known Rhones include; Marsanne, Roussanne, Mourvedre and Cinsault, and Grenache.

Each year new and exciting Rhone blends are created. Ask about “Buffo Blanc” the “white donkey of the foothills” made from a blend of Viognier, Marsanne and Rousanne. Another favorite is “Gatti Rouge” the “red cat” captures the best of the red Rhones a blend of Syrah, Petite Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenache, Cinsaut, with a splash of Viognier!

As a boutique winery, we make small lots of wine that are carefully blended to produce memorable experiences. The vineyard and winery are located in the historic town of Rough and Ready, California. Just 5 miles from the town of Grass Valley.

Coufos Cellars facilities are situated on a former 20 acre dairy farm, which is now dotted with hillside vineyards.

Barns and outbuildings have been carefully converted into new wine making facilities while preserving their historical charm.

Visit the tasting room in the old blacksmith shop, the winery in the former creamery and the barrel storage room tucked within the old barn. For your enjoyment, two long horn steers enjoy an idyllic life grazing the old farm pastures.

Owners Janet and Henry graciously invite you to be their guests at Coufos Cellars.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
