Rancho de Philo Winery
Nestled in the foothills of the Cucamonga Valley, just 45 miles east of Los Angeles, Rancho de Philo has been a family-owned and operated winery since its founding in 1974 by Philo Biane. After retiring as President and CEO of Brookside Vineyard Company—then one of California’s oldest wineries—Philo set out to continue his family’s winemaking tradition, which dates back to 1832 in San Juan Bautista, California.
Philo’s daughter Janine Biane Tibbetts joined him, and over the years she and her husband Alan continued the tradition of crafting the award-winning Triple Cream Sherry, helping to build the winery’s enduring reputation. Crafted in the traditional Spanish solera style using Mission grapes, this wine has received numerous accolades, including multiple Double Gold and Best of Show honors.
Today, Rancho de Philo is proud to continue that legacy with the involvement of multiple generations of the family. In addition to Janine and Alan, several family members, including their grandson Matthew, are actively engaged in the winery’s operations, bringing fresh ideas and energy while honoring the values and craftsmanship that define our heritage
As part of our continued evolution, we’ve expanded beyond our signature sherry to introduce new varietals, including Viognier and Petite Sirah, sourced from celebrated vineyards in Lodi, California. These wines represent both a nod to our roots and an exciting step into the future.
While our Triple Cream Sherry remains at the heart of Rancho de Philo, we’re proud to offer a growing selection of wines that reflect the spirit, care, and tradition of our family.
We invite you to explore our wines and share in a legacy over 50 years in the making.
From our family to yours…
We hope you savor every sip
