McManis Family Vineyards has put a large slice of its California footprint up for sale, and the move says a lot about where the wine business stands right now. The family owned producer’s portfolio hit the market on September 11, 2026, with 11 properties totaling 3,496.10 acres, including its winery facility in Ripon, according to LoopNet and the Mendrin Group listing.
What McManis put on the market
The portfolio is being marketed at $77,950,000 and includes a 71,483 square foot winery facility at 18700 E. River Rd. in Ripon, plus vineyard properties in Ripon, Manteca, Galt, Herald, and Courtland. The Ripon winery site alone is listed at $22,500,000 and covers about 121.96 gross assessed acres, according to the individual winery listing.
LoopNet describes the package as 11 properties offered individually or as a bulk portfolio sale. The listing names vineyard sites including River Junction Vineyard in Manteca, Sierra Loma Vineyard in Herald, Liberty Vineyard and Dry Creek Vineyard in Galt, Ridge Crest Vineyard in Courtland, Brownslake Vineyard and Blossom View Vineyard in Ripon, along with the Ripon winery property.
The Mendrin Group materials add more detail on several of those vineyard blocks. Sierra Loma Vineyard is listed at 765.04 gross assessed acres, with 615.4 net acres of winegrapes. North Ridge Vineyard, a leasehold property in Clarksburg, is listed at 639.31 gross assessed acres and 395 net vineyard acres. Creekside includes both fee title and leasehold acreage, while Blossom View is a much smaller 9.2 acre site near Ripon.
Why the sale matters beyond weather
It would be easy to blame a sale like this on climate stress alone, but the available reporting points to a broader squeeze. News reports on the listing said McManis has been dealing with softer demand for wine, excess grape supply, and fewer buyers for crops, pressures that have weighed on growers across California.
That wider slowdown shows up in trade reporting too. WineBusiness reported earlier this year that California growers still need major acreage reduction to bring supply and demand into better balance. The same report described a large volume of California bulk wine still on the market, a sign that inventory pressure has not gone away.
Exports are another part of the picture. A wine industry filing published by WineBusiness said Canada was the number one export market for U.S. wine in 2024, accounting for 36% of U.S. wine exports. That helps explain why disruption in Canada has become such a serious issue for California producers with cross border business, including companies that had relied on provincial board sales.
What it could mean for shoppers and the region
A property listing is not the same thing as a shutdown. The marketing materials say the winery is a turn key production, processing, storage, and bottling operation, and the broader portfolio notes that the McManis brand could be discussed separately. That suggests the real estate sale and the future of the label are related questions, but not necessarily the same one.
For shoppers, the immediate takeaway is simpler: this is another sign that affordable California wine is being reshaped by market math as much as by vineyard conditions. McManis says on its own website that the family farms more than 3,600 acres of premium wine grapes and operates ten estate vineyards, so the sale covers most of a sizable estate footprint.
For the region, the listing is notable because these are not random parcels. They are vineyard blocks and a winery facility spread across established growing areas in San Joaquin and Sacramento counties. If they sell, the land could remain in grapes, shift to other crops, or move into a different ownership model entirely, depending on who steps in and what pencil out best in California wine now.
