But that was just the beginning.Back in 1971, Ron spent a year studying viticulture and enology at U.C. Davis, and right there his life dream was born: to one day have his own vineyard and winery in California Wine Country. In 2011, he made that dream come true: he purchased a small winery in Sonoma County and built it into the River Road Family Vineyards and Winery, today a Certified B Corporation meeting the highest standards of performance, accountability, environmental protection, and social responsibility.A firm believer in Giving Back, in 2006 Ron endowed and set in motion the creation of The Ron Rubin School for the Entrepreneur, at Culver Academies in Culver, Indiana.
