Sciandri Family Vineyards
Sciandri Family Vineyards(pronounced “she-andri”) is one Coombsville’s ‘hidden’ gems, located at the edge of rolling hills bordering the 850 acre wilderness Skyline Park. They are located only about 10-12 minutes from the city of Napa but this location feels far removed from any urban environment.
This small family owned vineyard (22 acres total) is planted to slightly over 4 hillside acres. The Sciandri’s (Ron and his wife Roberta) moved here in 1989 after looking for 4-5 years for a unique place to live in the valley. Ron spent a career with the fire department in San Francisco, beginning in 1969 – eventually becoming Captain, Battalion Chief and ultimately the Assistant Fire Chief. Soon after moving here, Roberta asked Ron about his plan for “landscaping” their property – his answer was to plant grapes – their first grapevines were planted in 1999. And for those who knew Ron, he was a great farmer who truly enjoyed showing visitors to the property his efforts including a number of fruit trees, vegetables in raised beds – and of course his vines.
