Karine Cellars is a boutique winery nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California, dedicated to crafting exceptional wines from tiny, hand-tended vineyards. Founded by Nicholas and Angeline DeHart, Karine focuses on sourcing unique pre-Prohibition grape varieties like Zinfandel, Barbera, and Mourvèdre, which were historically significant during California’s Gold Rush. With vineyard sites often less than 0.2 acres, Karine’s approach is akin to gardening, cultivating quality over quantity to create truly authentic wines.

Their winery studio, situated at an elevation of 3,000 feet, is where art meets science, as Nick applies his extensive enology knowledge to produce expressive wines that showcase the region's distinct terroir. Each vintage reflects meticulous attention to detail, and the couple’s passion is evident in the limited production of around 300 cases. The wines are available directly to consumers and select local restaurants, inviting enthusiasts to experience the remarkable flavors of California’s heritage through their critically acclaimed offerings.
