Shingle Springs, CA – The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control recently issued a temporary license to Cielo Vineyards & Winery LLC, a new business operating within the heart of Shingle Springs’ burgeoning business district. The license, issued on March 20, 2026, grants the operation the authority to serve alcohol.

The business occupies a pair of adjacent properties at 3040 and 3046 Ponderosa Road, a location increasingly attracting attention due to its proximity to the growing retail and service offerings along the main thoroughfare. The area itself is characterized by a mix of established small businesses and newer ventures, reflecting the town’s steady growth. The buildings are primarily constructed of brick and stucco, typical of the region’s architectural style.

The application was submitted by PIERSON FAMILY VINEYARDS, LLC, with James William Pierson serving as the Managing Member. The license is currently designated as Temporarily Unclassified, indicating that the ABC will conduct a further review and classification of the business type at a later date.

The license details include several shareholders and stock holders, including Cynthia Loretta McBride, Sandra Giannina Whaley, and James William Pierson.

The ABC’s issuance of this license represents another step in the continued development of Shingle Springs’ business landscape.
