Scheid Vineyards (OTCMKTS:SVIN) (OTCMKTS:SVIN) is a family-owned wine company based in Monterey County, California. Founded in 1972, the firm cultivates and harvests grapes across multiple appellations in California’s Central Coast region, including Monterey, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara and Lodi. In addition to supplying grapes to third-party wineries, Scheid Vineyards produces a diverse portfolio of estate-bottled wines under its own brands, focusing on classic varietals such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel.
Over the decades, Scheid Vineyards has built a vertically integrated operation that encompasses grape growing, winemaking and wholesale distribution. The company’s viticultural footprint extends across more than 7,300 planted acres, featuring sustainable farming practices and precision irrigation techniques to optimize grape quality and yield. Fruit not used for its proprietary labels is marketed under long‐term contracts to regional and national wine producers, enabling Scheid Vineyards to maintain steady production volumes through varying market cycles.
In addition to traditional table wines, the company offers custom crush services and bulk wine contracts, providing winemaking facilities and technical support to emerging brands and established labels. These value-added services include fruit sorting, fermentation management, aging in oak barrels, blending and bottling, leveraging Scheid’s climate-controlled cellars and quality control laboratories.
Leadership remains in the hands of the Scheid family, with Joe Scheid serving as President and CEO and Gary Scheid overseeing vineyard operations as Chief Viticulturist. Under their stewardship, the company continues to expand its footprint in California wine country while pursuing sustainability initiatives, including water conservation, cover cropping and integrated pest management, to ensure long-term vineyard health and environmental stewardship.
