Skinner

El Dorado

Our Story

Faith based visionaries, Carey and Mike intentionally lean into life with purpose, and take risks when it feels right. They never imagined they would be responsible for carrying the legacy of James Skinner onward, but since 2007 they have been doing just that. “We’re a family legacy which means so much more to me than a business. You can’t buy a legacy.”


Whole-heartedly dedicated to hand crafting elevated wines while contributing to over 150 years of family history deeply rooted in El Dorado County. Skinner Vineyards has entirely reinvigorated the two of them, brought their family even closer, and gifted them with a purposeful and soulful everyday.

Meet the Winemaker

Seth Hunt - I'm a valley native with a Fresno State enology education. Joining Skinner meant leaving behind production agriculture for a more intimate pursuit of my obsession with grapes and wine. At Skinner, we are fortunate to nurture small lot, mountain-grown fruit through native fermentations to fully express a time and place. I have never been so proud of my work.
