About the Vintners and Distillers of Fresno County: The Twin Rivers Vintners Association was formed in 2005 by winemakers from Fresno County to educate people about the great wineries and breweries of the area. The name comes from the rich agricultural region between the Kings and San Joaquin rivers. In 2018 the association name changed to the Vintners and Distillers of Fresno County, to include the local spirits that are included along the Fresno County Wine Journey. ​When visiting one of the wineries, you will probably be served by the winemaker or their family. We love serving the new wine drinker as well as the experienced wine connoisseur, but come see for yourself! About Fresno County Wine Journey: Consisting of 14 wineries, three breweries and a distillery, each location has a unique signature personality. Our wine journey stops are all locally-owned and almost all are family operated. With our award-winning wine and beer, we pour with pride knowing local residents don't have to travel far to experience premium beverages.
