ALTA ORSA

Farming is the core chapter of our story and has been for more than three decades. As stewards of this 160-acre mountain property, we farm in a holistic manner – meaning we use organic and regenerative agricultural practices. Patience, observation, science, and experimentation guide our approach. Since the planting of our high-density vineyard in the late 1980s, we have practiced no-till farming, minimal organic sprays, no tractors between the rows, and no herbicides under the vine. This leads us to craft truly unique, balanced, and age-worthy estate wines.


BARRA OF MENDOCINO

All BARRA of Mendocino wines are made from 100% estate grown, hand-picked certified organic grapes.  We believe that the combination of our organic viticulture practices, coupled with our unique geographic location in the Mendocino appellation, helps us deliver premium wines that are truly representative of their roots.  We hope you enjoy the end results in the bottle as much as we've enjoyed creating it.


BLACK OAK COFFEE ROASTERS

Whether it’s world renowned vineyards, ancient redwoods, or dramatic coastline, our home in Mendocino & Sonoma Counties has something special to offer at every turn. We strive every day to produce bright, beautiful and distinct coffees that inspire wonder worthy of our roots. We do it without pretentiousness and welcome all coffee lovers to the joy of world-class, locally-roasted coffee

BOONVILLE ROAD WINES

Sourcing from some of the best of Mendocino County’s unique collection of vineyards, picking with abundant natural acidity and at a spectrum of ripeness, we look to produce the kind of wines we want to drink: fresh, mineral, and pure. We sort meticulously, ferment on native yeasts at cooler temperatures, and use only neutral oak with a philosophy of minimal intervention. We do use a little SO2.


BRUTOCAO CELLARS

Fairall’s Farm

Fairall’s Farm began in the spring of 2005 when we found ourselves with 55 chicks, to help feed our 1 year old who was eating eggs nonstop. We joined the Redwood Valley Farmers Market selling our Farm Fresh Eggs, left over produce. We expanded production and started selling at 4 different farmers Markets in Mendocino County.

I love cooking & creating things around the farm & sharing all of our yummies with our family, friends & fans. I've been cooking and experimenting since I was a little girl. I added Handcrafted Jam & preserving foods in the summer of 2011. Now we are sharing our Savory & Sweet treats in our all new Fairall's Farm Food Wagon. Please Enjoy

Through minimal manipulation in the cellar, we allow the wines to express the authentic character of our soils and climate. For over three decades we have been vanguards in crafting wine without added sulfites, a synthetic preservative added to most other wines (even wines made with organically grown grapes!) that can cause adverse allergic reactions in some people.

Still family owned and operated by a second generation, we are passionate about organic farming, careful stewardship of the land, and handcrafted winemaking.

SCHARFFENBERGER CELLARS

The history of Scharffenberger Cellars begins in 1981 in the heart of Mendocino’s Anderson Valley. Situated only miles from the coastal influences of the Pacific Ocean, Scharffenberger Cellars also enjoys the deep soils and sunshine with in the protected valley. Originally founded by John Scharffenberger, the winery entered a new chapter as a member of the Roederer Collection in 2004. Today winemaker Jeffrey Jindra continues to craft without compromise delicious sparkling wines that showcase the unparalleled uniqueness of Mendocino County terroir.


Rootdown cellars

For all wines, Mike harvests his fruit to lead with earth and texture, rather than only fruit. Stylistically, these wines have low alcohol, high acid and more delicate, brighter color. His style remains very decidedly hands-off, allowing the grapes and specific sites to speak for themselves. He ferments the wines with native yeasts, no new oak, and sulfur only in amounts equal to what is found naturally on the vine. Mike’s technical prowess as a winemaker is finely tuned, but he usually prefers to let curiosity inform what happens with his Rootdown wines. He is constantly having fun “making decisions that he shouldn’t make,” and always playing with “What if?”


Rosati Family Winery

Our goal has been to consistently create a food friendly wine  that reflects our beloved Mendocino Ranch—its fresh earthiness, its daily warmth, and complementary foggy evening breezes; a wine that is pure and prominently derived from estate grown 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.


SLAM DUNK PIZZA
