About Our Vineyard and Winery Sierra Starr Vineyard and Winery is a small family run operation. Phil is the head honcho around here as he does just about everything. Everything includes growing the grapes as well as making the wine and all things associated with these endeavors. Anne operates the tasting room in downtown Grass Valley and runs the Sirius Sipper Wine Club. Jack, joining the family business in December of 2005, is the Vineyard Manager and Assistant Winemaker. He also fills in where needed assisting both his mother and father in day to day operations. Sierra Starr Vineyard & Winery has a tasting room located at 124 West Main Street in the little metropolis of Grass Valley, CA. We are open daily f rom noon to five. In the year since Sierra Starr pioneered the way with the first tasting room in Grass Valley, three more wineries have opened tasting locations in town, making Grass Valley a great wine tasting destination. Located in the Sierra Nevada Foothills between Sacramento and Reno, Grass Valley and neighboring Nevada City began during the gold rush era and still maintains much of the historic charm from that time. Both cities have historic downtown areas which showcase beautiful Victorian architecture and are quite hospitable to both the locals and tourists. Shopping and dining are a treat here. The small town atmosphere lends itself to enjoyable days spent in the foothills.
