If you’ve ever talked with the people at Moseley Family Cellars, you know about their love for winemaking. It actually runs in their family, back to when Marty peered curiously over the barrel while his grandfather made wine in his home. Now they’re a small, family-owned winery in Redding that’s genuinely eager to invite new and old friends into their passion for the craft.

Over the years, they’ve come to understand that winemaking is a delicate balance of artistry, scientific precision, and what just feels right. Great wine comes from great grapes, and instead of growing their own or being locked into local Shasta County varieties, they source premium grapes from Napa and some of their secret regions. Then they handle everything else in Redding—from the crush to the bottle—giving them real control over the final product.

The tasting room has a relaxed vibe that matches the family-run approach. You get a real sense that these folks know their wines and actually want to talk about them, not just pour and move on. It’s the kind of place where you can linger, ask questions, and learn something about what goes into each bottle. The atmosphere works well for visitors with dogs. Your dog will do fine on the grounds as long as they’re well-behaved and under control, making it easier to spend an afternoon exploring local wine without having to make separate arrangements.

The winery sits in an area where you can combine a visit with exploring other Redding attractions. Since their hours and days of operation can vary seasonally, check their website before heading out to make sure they’re open when you plan to stop by.
