Traveling through Placerville, in 1974, Raymond and Barbara McKay discovered 20 acres of preferred agricultural soil for grapes.

Clearing the property, Raymond and Barbara first planted Chardonnay and Zinfandel. Following the initial planting, Merlot, Barbera and Cabemet Sauvignon were added. With the first bottling came the beginning of multiple competition awards. Chateau Rodin boasts a 100 mile view, an ideal location for weddings, luncheons, dinners, picnic, or company functions.
