Sweet Oaks

Hailing from deeply agricultural backgrounds in the Midwest, couple Heather and Jason Altepeter, have planted their roots in Temecula, California –– the heart of Southern California’s sprawling wine country. Drawn to the alluring beauty of Temecula Valley’s rolling hills and endless stretches of lush vineyard properties, Heather and Jason settled in this Southern California wine town to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and cultivate meaningful work rooted in culture and rustic elegance. Heather and Jason founded Sweet Oaks Wine in 2015 after purchasing Sweet Oaks Ranch – a 28-acre equestrian estate boasting expansive natural beauty. Sweet Oaks Wine was founded alongside its sister label, Sol de Luz Vineyards in nearby De Luz, California. The Sweet Oaks vineyards, located in the heart of Temecula Valley Wine Country, boast a remarkable growing climate and rich soil — characteristics wine growers recognize as essential to yielding viable vines. These vines—in turn—produce grapes that, in the right winemaker’s hands become exquisite wines.
