Vineyard in Alpine, CA with eight varietals of estate grapes. We are a family owned home winery, noncommercial, with estate grapes and a facility for making fine wine. The wine that we produce is meant to be shared with our friends and family and always to be enjoyed. Our unique terroir at elevation 1850 above sea level with mainly westerly ocean breezes in late afternoons and early evenings creates an environment that allows our grapes to develop fully and give our wines the wonderful variety of tastes on the palate. Cheers.

Our Land
We purchased a mature 10 year old Vineyard in 2017 and built our new home on the property in 2018. Local Ramona wineries have purchased our Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot for years. In 2021, we decided to go down the road of making our own wine and are making good progress with the talents of local winemakers. In 2022 we completed our winery barn agricultural building and we’re now remodeling the barn into our winery and tasting patio. We hope to open in the fall of 2025 or spring 2026. We expanded our vineyard in the spring of 2023 adding three additional varietals, Montepulciano, Grenache and Tempranillo. We now have two Italian, two French and two Spanish varietals that are estate grown and will work with other nearby vineyards to supply additional varietals as needed.
Conveniently nestled a mere 100’ from Paul and Janet’s house is Paul’s pandemic project; a 96 vine garden of tranquility and distraction from the events of those times. It is indeed a hobby vineyard with Chardonnay and Petit Sarah grapes. Paul loves his title of VIGNERON and takes it very seriously as you can tell from the name he chose for the endeavor … Midlife Vineyard & Winery. Our first harvest was in October, 2023 and more than merely drinkable wine resulted. Friends and family rave about our first vintages (as they are expected to do).

One of the founding vineyards of the Ramona AVA; featuring in Sangiovese, Sangiovese Grosso, Cabernet, Viognier and one of few vineyuards in Califonia growing Aglianico.
Bearing Fruit Vineyard is an 8.5 acre farm, with 1908 vines planted on 3 acres of that land. The vineyard produces an abundance of quality Malbec, Sangiovese and Petite Sirah wine grapes.
Our goal for the vines is an emphasis on quality, minimal intervention to allow the grapes to express the “terroir”, and a hands-on approach to farming.
The vision for Bearing Fruit Vineyard is for it to operate as a charitable, retirement endeavor. We will nurture the grapes to each harvest and arrange for their sale to select local wineries. At that point, 100% of the funds each year are directed to the Bearing Fruit Foundation and various charitable endeavors. This project supplements Frank & Karen Allen’s other annual /primary contributions to the Bearing Fruit Foundation.

When our kids completed high school and ‘left the nest’ for college, the countryside beckoned, and we moved to Ramona in October, 2019. When we saw a secluded hilltop home in Ramona, compete with a small vineyard it was love at first sight. With the previous owners of the property having moved overseas, our approx. 300 Cabernet Sauvignon vines were in need of some love, and ever since we’ve been working hard to look after and improve the health of these vines, which are around 10 years old. It’s been a steep learning curve, with knowledge gained from grape growing friends, Ramona Valley Vineyard Association (RVVA), taking a vineyard management class, books, SNS, etc., and although challenging, it has been a most enjoyable journey.
Just a little background about myself. I am Japanese, I was born in Japan, but since graduating college, I mainly lived outside of Japan due to my work. My husband is British and we have two grown-up kids. We moved to the US in 2009 due to my husband’s work. We have two dogs; Nocino (rescue Mutt) and Tartufo (Spinone Italiano). Both are doing great as vineyard guard dogs, and have contributed to the name of this magical place which is “Tartino vineyards”. Tartino being a combination of “TARTufo” and “nocINO”.
My current goal is to grow healthy, high quality grapes. Wine making may follow, likely when my husband retires, and I can imagine this peaceful and private place as a hidden spot for people to get together and enjoy the spectacular views over a glass of wine.
Welcome to Tartino Vineyards.


Anthony and Kathleen, along with their kids and grandchildren are enjoying this new season of life and all it brings with their recently purchased small boutique Vineyard.
