Coates
Coates Vineyards is located within the Six Rivers National Forest on the Klamath River in Northern California. Coates wines are made from our own certified organically grown grapes, no sulfites added, unfiltered, unfined, and then aged in American and French oak barrels.

Girasole
It is said that wines made from organic grapes are much more likely to represent their origins or “terroir” more than conventional wines. At Girasole Vineyards, we like to use the phrase “Experience the fruit as it was meant to be.”

Heidrun Meadery
We handcraft naturally sparkling honey wine using traditional French Methode Champenoise which results in light, delicate and refreshing flavor profiles from floral to earthy.

McFadden Vineyard
Guinness McFadden has been farming organically for 37 years. The hot days and cool nights of Potter Valley give our wines exceptional character and flavor, and meticulous care of the soil enables us to produce top quality grapes year after year.

Ukiah Brewing Company
The beers, which are brewed by the Cooperriders' son, Bret, include golden ales, lagers and stouts. "Organic malts cannot be stored for a long time, so they're fresh-roasted when we get them. We use only a small amount of hops and malt, and people can taste the freshness."

 

Benziger's

Bonny Doon Vineyard
We practice strict adherence to biodynamic viticulture which we believe gives us the opportunity to produce the most distinctive and interesting - in a word, best - wines possible.
