Our wines are currently available to the customer only through restaurants and retail stores. Please TRY our wines at the growing list of venues throughout the Bay Area and North Bay.

We make a range of white, rose and red wines, available in bottles (and some in 5 gallon kegs), and five varieties of hard apple cider. Our wines tend towards a European style, lower in alcohol and more subtle in flavor profile. Our current wine offerings include:
