Who We Are

Spur Road is a family-owned and operated business where every hand is on deck. Sam and Amanda’s journey began when they met while working a vintage in Burgundy, France. Their shared passion for winemaking led them to gain invaluable experience and expertise through internships across the globe— from the sun-drenched vineyards of Australia and New Zealand to the renowned wine regions of Oregon and California. Ultimately, they chose California, Sam's home state, to pursue their dream of crafting wines that embody both their passion and vision.

When a close family friend asked for their help to revive a neglected four-acre vineyard on his property, Sam and Amanda seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After months of clearing away blackberry bushes to unearth the vines, they began the painstaking work of restoration— an ongoing project that continues to shape the unique character of Spur Road.
