Ceago Vinegarden is owned by Jim Fetzer, former President of Fetzer Vineyards.  Jim grew up with his ten brothers and sisters in the vineyards of Mendocino County.  The Fetzer family built their business into an internationally-recognized and respected winery.  In 1968, the family started producing just a few dozen cases.  When the family sold the winery in 1992, Fetzer Vineyard was producing two and a half million cases of wine annually and was growing 1,200 acres of wine grapes certified organic.  The Fetzer family led the U.S. wine industry in organic farming and ecological business practices.  In 1993, Jim Fetzer established Ceago Vinegarden. Currently, two of Jim’s children, Katrina and Barney, are on board and bringing all their talents and knowledge into the family business.

 
 

LONG AGO

 

 

 

Archaeologists believe that the Clear Lake basin has been occupied by Native Americans for at least 11,000 years. Abundant fish, game and waterbirds make Clear Lake an oasis in the normal conditions of Northern California's ruged mountains. When the Spanish missionaries came to California, they found that thousands of Native Americans lived in the Clear Lake Basin, primarily Pomo people and Yuki-Wappo with some Lake Miwok.
