Winery History

Launched in 2007, Lone Buffalo Vineyards offers premium Placer County wines crafted by a seasoned winemaker in the ambiance and with the down-to-earth attitude of a small boutique winery. Family owned and operated by Phil, Jill and Jocelyn Maddux, LBV is doing its part to return Placer County to its post Gold Rush roots as a premium wine-producing region. We emphasize food-friendly, Rhone-style wines with a twist of cowboy and old west philosophy. Our wines are available for private tasting and purchase by appointment at the winery and for purchase at many Placer County and Lake Tahoe retail outlets and restaurants. Visit www.lonebuffalovineyards.com, call (916) 663-4486, or email pjm@lonebuffalovineyards.com for more info!

About the Winemaker

Phil Maddux grew up in Sonoma County and made wine as a home winemaker for 35 years before taking his passion to the next level. He learned his craft from some of the brightest stars in the industry, including Richard Arrowood, who gained fame at Chateau St. Jean in Sonoma and went on to found Arrowood Vineyards and Cecil DeLoach who founded and operated DeLoach Vineyards for many years. He augmented this practical backgound with many enology and viticulture classes at UC Davis and now offers the results for your enjoyment.
