Maple Creek Winery and Ranch was founded by Tom Rodrigues, Artist and Renaissance man, in 2001. A leisurely motorcycle ride through the country, getting away from the hustle and bustle of the Bay area, brought Tom to the doorstep of Maple Creek ranch, so known by the creek which meanders through the property. He was immediately drawn in by the beauty of the rolling hills in the Yorkville Highlands of the Anderson Valley, with its lush vineyards, and perfect Mediterranean climate.

With his background, “Artevino” wine was born, the perfect marriage between his two passions: wine and art. Dedication to the grass-roots of old world style winemaking, paired with a focus on small batch production, has resulted in many award winning wines under the “Artevino” label.
