History
Founded in 1999, proprietors Sherrie & Elliot Graham purchased a picturesque 34-acre parcel of rolling hills and sprawling oak and pine trees. The property, which is a portion of the old Meyer's Ranch, was bare with the exception of a historic barn, once a notable stopping point for miners to change horses en route to Placerville. With the generous help of many friends and neighbors, the vineyard was planted beginning in 2001 and construction of the winery and tasting room began in 2003. In summer 2004, Elliot & Sherrie culminated their dream by opening Busby Cellars. The Grahams were joined by resident winery dogs, Ruby and Guster, who joined us in 2011 and 2013, respectively. The vineyard now boasts 15 acres of premium winegrapes and the winery reached its maximum annual capacity of 2,000 cases consisting of over 15 varieties. Busby Cellars is proud to share hand-crafted and award-winning wines, modest prices, panoramic vineyard views, and hospitality with you, our valued customers.
