Matson vineyards is a small family-operated winery located just east of Redding, California. Our original vineyard was planted in 1981, and the winery was officially established in 1984.

Oscar MatsonOur wines are made with grapes from our home vineyards and other exclusively selected vineyards of Shasta County. We grow our grapes in an environmentally friendly manner.

The label design for our first wines, Shasta Claret and Shasta Glacier, was originally designed by Stella Matson, the wife of Oscar Matson. Her artwork also became the main element in the label designed for the wine we created in her memory, Stellar Red, which was first produced in the year of her death, 1992.

Community participation has always been our tradition, and the biggest event of the year for our winery has been a harvest feast to thank our wonderful friends who have helped us maintain our sanity (to the extent it still exists) during our often chaotic crush.

We continually strive to explore the incredible diversity of grape varieties that exists and the flavors that can be elicited from them. The evolution of unique wines that is taking place at our winery requires experimentation with the unique growing conditions here in Shasta County, curiosity about somewhat ignored but high potential varieties, and the desire to discover the subtle ways in which blending of wines can yield exciting and delicious results. Join us in exploring the vast unexplored world of Shasta County wines. We believe the evolution of flavors and styles will be fascinating!
