Trefethen Vineyards was established in 1886 as Eshcol a biblical word for “lush cluster of grapes.” Following retirement from a successful career with Kaiser Industries Eugene Trefethen along with his wife Katie purchased Eshcol in 1968 along with six adjoining properties to create Trefethen Vineyards. At that time replanting of the vineyards and restoration of the historic winery building began.
