History
Windsor Vineyards was founded in 1959 in Tiburon, California by winemaker Rodney Strong. A pioneer in the direct-to-consumer wine business, Windsor remains one of the largest direct-to-consumer wineries in the United States. Windsor continues to operate its tasting room in Strong's original Tiburon location.
Shortly after it's founding, Rodney Strong relocated Windsor to Healdsburg in 1961 to be closer to his Sonoma County vineyard properties where he established his second winery, Rodney Strong Vineyards. Strong contintued to operate Windsor until he sold it to the Klein winemaking family in 1989.
The winery changed hands again in 1989 when it was purchased by Australian wine unit Mildura Blass, who added Windsor to its family of international wine holdings under the umbrella of Beringer Blass Wine Estates.
Most recently, vintner Patrick Roney purchased Windsor Vineyards in 2007.
