In 1995, Doctors Ian and Elena Renner decided to finally plant the vineyard of their dreams, planting their first eight acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Situated on a peninsula overlooking New Melones Reservoir, the land was blessed with cool afternoon breezes coming off the water, and they felt the microclimate here would lend itself to producing world-class grapes and wines. Today their dream is realized with the first release of Estate-Grown wines and Olive Oil.

After having been born and raised in New Zealand, Ian spent nearly 10 years working in prominent hospitals in Adelaide, South Australia. It was here that he fell in love with the famous wines of the Barossa. As his love for grapes and wine grew, Ian dreamed of growing and making World-Class wine himself. The 2004 vintage of Syrah, however, was bottled in June 2006 and became Renner Winery's first release, Add to that GOLD at the Calaveras County Fair, and Canterbury Vineyard was in business! Determined to make only estate grown grapes from the Canterbury Vineyard, it was decided that a winery on the vineyard would be ideal in preserving quality in its fullness, and our first estate winemaking commenced with the 2007 crush. In addition to Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Viognier made in 2006, Zinfandel, Malbec, Petite Sirah, Merlot and Roussanne were added to the Canterbury Vineyard wine family.
