Twins' Winery Honors Late Brother, Thrives Alongside 49ers

In 2025, Jenna and Marie York, the co-owners of the San Francisco 49ers, have found success in an unexpected venture: their own winery, JennaMarise Wines. The sisters' love for wine began in their childhood, when their grandfather, a self-taught connoisseur, would visit their home in Youngstown, Ohio, bringing a carefully chosen bottle to share with the family over dinner.

This early exposure to the art of winemaking left a lasting impression on the twins, who later pursued internships in Napa Valley during their college years. After graduating, they returned to the region, working at various wineries before deciding to launch their own label in 2019, inspired by the memory of their late brother, Tony.

The name JennaMarise Wines is a personal tribute, combining the sisters' first and middle names. The design of the label, with the J and M woven together, also reflects their close-knit bond. Despite the challenges of starting a new brand in a competitive market, Jenna and Marie have remained hands-on, working closely with winemaker Bob Foley to ensure every aspect of their wines reflects their family's story and values.

Today, JennaMarise Wines has found a home at Levi's Stadium, the home of the 49ers, where it is served during games. The sisters' journey has come full circle, as they share their passion for wine with the team's community and fans. As they look to the future, Jenna and Marie remain committed to maintaining the personal touch that defines their label, prioritizing quality over expansion.
