- We are delighted to haveJonathan Walton joined our team in January as our new assistant winemaker, and will be moving production in with us. In his words 'Guiding vines' to grapes to wine's bottles. These wines aim to capture the most relaxed and inspiring moments experienced in the California Wilderness. Creating a connection, in an elemental way, to the forces that create the beautiful places that create beautiful wine. You taste where its from and wherever you’d love to be!" 900 case production

- If you read the Press Democrat/Sonoma Magazine, you have may have heard of Marreya Bailey, this cider and winemaker received a lot of press in 2023! The owner and producer, who also enjoys applying pan-cultural ancestral fermentation practices that continue respecting the balance amongst art, science, nature, and people. 800 case production.

- A 4k case winery started in 2010 making LOTS of small lots of wines from unusual varieties. Organic grapes, native yeast, low sulfur. We will be featuring several new releases as well as some library wines.

- Started in 2010, by our very good friends Randy and Erin, who craft ~1k cases a year, here in our winery since 2017. Unturned Stone has a cool slant, making natural wines in a light handed delicious style from traditional CA grapes like Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and Cabernet. In their own words " We honor Mother Nature’s intentions and the work of our farmers by only sourcing organically grown grapes from Sonoma and Mendocino Counties. We do no additions or subtractions in the winery other than minimal sulfur as needed and are firm believers in low intervention winemaking."

- Monica & Beno, another husband/wife team whose small brand of delicious wines is growing each year, and who made some wine in our winery last year. As they say "We make wines we like to drink, in partnership with growers who lead from the front of regenerative farming. We champion simplicity, prioritize delicacy, and crave acidity at every turn." 1800 case production.

- yes they are our neighbors, literally. They will have a table to sample a few ciders and you are welcome to venture over afterwards to try and buy more. Scott and Ellen are dear friends, as well as collaboration partners in a number of projects they have done with us and other small wineries. We share many customers, and they are rightfully beloved in the industry for their passion, creativity, and quality. Founded in 2011 they are "focusing on ciders, coferments, and distillation projects all sourced from our foodshed—supporting local organic apple farmers and gleaning from the bounty of fruit that nature gives us here in west county. We practice low-intervention production, specializing in all wild fermentations, no fining or filtering, and very minimal sulfites, to allow the true expression of the fruit."

Come and taste these local, sustainable wines and ciders, and support small local family business! #ShopLocal #BuyDomestic #SmallBusiness !
