Over 50 Years of Coastal Winegrowing

Small-Batch, Family-Owned Legacy Since the 1970s

Viticulture took root here in the late 1960s when brave pioneers recognized the potential of this misty, cool valley.

Formally established as an AVA in 1983, we remain a tight-knit community of family-owned estates where winemakers still greet you at the cellar door.

Organic, Biodynamic, & Regenerative Farming

Respecting the Wilderness Surrounding our Vines

Mendocino County wineries pioneered organic grape growing in California. We leave dense forests surrounding our vineyards rather than planting every square foot , transition to regenerative farming , and cultivate lavender gardens to support native pollinators.

The Coolest Appellation in the Golden State

Dynamic 50-Degree Diurnal Temperature Swings

With an average annual temperature of 53°F, coastal winds, and dense marine fog, our grapes undergo slow, steady ripening. This unique climate preserves high acidity and coaxes unmatched flavor complexity out of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
