About Us
Pamo Valley Winery is a small, boutique, family-operated winery, founded as a vineyard by Bill Jenkin in 2000. With little more than a remarkable vision and a powerful drive to succeed, Pamo Valley expanded to include winery operations in 2004 with the help of Jennifer Jenkin. From the beginning, Pamo Valley has always been forward-focused and committed to providing its customers with the highest quality, best value, and award-winning wines. In March 2007, Bill ventured to Washington State to establish his own winery. Jennifer took over the operations as sole owner of Pamo Valley Winery.
Jennifer enjoys walking through the vineyards, meeting with people, asking questions, overcoming challenges, visiting customers, and seeing the commitment of all of us to grow, produce, and market the highest quality wines in San Diego.
Jennifer believes strongly in the power of family-owned businesses. The continued support of family and friends in the vineyard and winery has made Pamo Valley the success and well-known San Diego County winery that it is today.
In 2001, Jennifer moved to Ramona after living in Melbourne, Australia for six years to be near her family. She is quite active in Ramona's community affairs and enjoys the rural character that Ramona offers. Jennifer stays busy with her wine activities and charitable events.
The photo "wine glass and sunset" taken by Jennifer Jenkin, which overlooks the vineyard and Pamo Valley, is the inspiration of Pamo Valley's wine label.
The property's residents as well as three dogs, two cats, and an owl occupy the vineyard and winery. The owl helps keep the small critters out of the vineyard.
CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
I really think Pamo Valley is the best syrah I have tasted. It is really smooth and puts others to shame I'm afraid! I wish you continued success! You obviously work very hard for your much-earned reputation in the wine industry! I WANT MORE!!!

By the way, I have been a big fan of your 2004 Ramona Trio, 2005 Ramona Meritage, and 2005 Syrah. I have enjoyed several bottles of each and given them to friends as gifts. I am quite sorry that I did not lay in case quantities.
Best regards,
Tom Stark
Just a quick note to let you know how much my wife and I have been enjoying your wines. So far we've tried the 2005 Syrah and the 2004 Ramona Trio, both are very nice. We're looking forward to your next release of your Estate Syrah. Please let us know when it's ready!

Pamo Valley Syrah is a customer favorite, a brilliant example of San Diego County Wine. We love it! See you soon!

We opened a bottle of your 2005 Reserve Chardonnay. I love it!! It is the best Chardonnay I've ever had. How can we order more?

Congratulations, Pamo Valley's Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese made a pretty good showing from the San Diego County Vineyard Association judging for the Regional Wine Tasting Event in Temecula.

My daughter in law's family gave me two bottles of your wine for Christmas and I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the Merlot. Have not had any of the Trio yet. I make my own Pinot Noir and Chamborcin and have a first hand understanding of the difficulty in growing good grapes, and making fine wine. Wish Maryland 's laws were more lax so we could import some. Let me know if you deal with any distributors on the east coast. Keep up the good work!
