Our History
In 1938, Angelo Cassazz purchased one half of the ranch from the Gilbert family, where he spent 50 years raising cattle and improving the ranch. He built the barn in 1948 that currently houses the bridesmaid suite. He dug the pond in the 1960s to store water for his cattle through the summer. He spent countless hours removing brush and rocks to provide area for more grass for his cattle, while his 4 children had fun exploring the ranch. Angelo’s wine press and de-stemmer is on display in the wine cave.
In the 2000s a portion of the ranch changed hands from the Casazza’s to close friends, the Cazadd’s. Jason Cazadd’s vision and hard work throughout the years on the ranch is fueled by his desire to honor the legacy of those who have poured so much blood, sweat, and tears into this land.
Cazadd Cellars is a family owned and operated vineyard and working cattle ranch. The ranch was established in late 1800’s by the Gilbert Family and has been farmed since the gold rush era. Our vineyard is tucked right in the middle of the original Gilbert family homestead. The Gilbert Family primarily grew hay that was sold to stagecoach drivers passing through the area in the winter. They were also later known for moonshining during the years of prohibition. The hill where the house sits is known as telegraph hill since it was the best place to watch for incoming cars. The Gilberts even ran communication wire from telegraph hill to the still where they cooked the moonshine. The young Gilbert boys would sit on telegraph hill and watch, ready to alert their parents of any incoming cars to give their parents enough time to hide the evidence.
