Wildly Sustainable, Family Farmed
The Benziger family established their winery on a Glen Ellen ranch in 1980 and became pioneers of biodynamic and certified sustainable farming in Sonoma. For over thirty years they have crafted vibrant, nature-driven wines free of synthetic pesticides, with reds, whites and rose grown across Northern California vineyards.
Set on a Sonoma Mountain estate, the property is known as much for its grounds as its glass, with ponds, vineyard wildlife and grazing sheep tending the landscape. Visitors can take the celebrated tram tour through the vineyards, settle into a seated tasting, or sip on the terrace.
