SEAWOLF Wines is a family-owned winery founded by two devoted winemakers who bring the same fearless energy to the vineyard as they do to the waves. With a commitment to natural winemaking and organic, hands-on farming, they embrace minimal intervention—allowing each vintage to express the raw beauty of the land and sea. Inspired by a lifestyle shaped by surfing, organic farming, and women-led entrepreneurship, SEAWOLF captures the rhythm of the coast in every bottle. It’s wine crafted with intention, shaped by nature, and infused with the spirit of adventure.
Delphinium Wine Company works with nature, not against it. They utilize organic farming, native yeast fermentation, and absolute minimal additions for a fresh, soulful expression of California.
Husch was established in 1971, marking the inception of Anderson Valley's oldest winery. Founded by Tony and Gretchen Husch, who purchased the 60-acre Nunn ranch in 1967, the property quickly transitioned from apple and grain cultivation to vineyards, with the planting of eight acres of grapes including Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, leading to its inaugural crush in 1971. In 1979, the winery changed hands to Hugo Oswald Jr., initiating a new era of wine production after the Oswald family's transition from pear farming. Today, under the guidance of the third generation, Zac Robinson and Amanda Robinson Holstine, Husch Vineyards remains a testament to its rich history, maintaining its rustic charm and esteemed reputation for exceptional wines.
Navarro, under the same family stewardships, has been growing grapes, making wine and producing non-alcoholic grape juices in the Anderson Valley in coastal Mendocino since 1974. Since we are small, you probably will not find our wine in your local store, the majority of our production is sold directly out of our tasting room and through phone and web orders. We invite you to keep in touch.
Pennyroyal Farm is committed to sustainability and modern farming practices. It was conceived as a minimum-waste farm and takes into consideration sustainable design—from constructing solar panels on the barn to ensuring the size of the herd would produce enough manure to be converted into compost for fertilizing the vineyards. Leading the vision for the next generation, Sarah Cahn Bennett sees the vineyard, dairy farming, poultry, egg, fiber, fodder, wine, and other food production as essential to the long-term health of farmland. In addition to improving soil health and carbon sequestration, all 23 acres of vineyard are certified Fish Friendly Farming. With all of these activities taking place, we strive to be a regenerative vineyard in the mold of a traditional old-time American farm, and our wines reflect this dream.
Minus Tide was founded by Kyle Jeffrey, Brad Jonas, and Miriam Jonas with a focus on crafting elegant, balanced wines that capture the coastal essence of Mendocino, California. Embracing sustainability and minimal intervention, we produce Carignan Rosé, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Carignan, and Syrah, characterized by high acidity and low alcohol content, perfect for food pairing. Established in 2017, our journey began as a dream at California Polytechnic State University in 2007, culminating in the production of a single barrel of Malbec from Alder Springs vineyard in 2015. Brad and Kyle oversee winemaking in Mendocino's Anderson Valley, amidst vineyards, redwoods, and the Pacific coastline. Named after profound low tides, Minus Tide embodies the spirit of the Mendocino Coast.
Fog Eater Cafe is a vegetarian restaurant located in the heart of Mendocino Village, inspired by both the hearty recipes of the deep South and the fresh plant-based cuisine of Northern California. Their produce is all organic and sourced from within Mendocino or Sonoma counties.
Fathers + Daughters is a small, boutique winery producing hand-crafted wines sourced from Ferrington vineyard, as well as other premier vineyards. Ferrington Vineyard has a rich history, bringing care and craft to the growing of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Gewurztraminer since 1996. This land was first planted in 1969 by Balvern Vineyards and was purchased by our family’s patriarch, Kurt Schoeneman, in 1996. With a cool climate similar to the legendary Burgundy growing region in France, it’s no wonder that we source most of our grapes from storied Ferrington Vineyard.
