FARMING PRACTICES
“As an overview, we have always had the goal of the vines being a direct reflection of the special sites in which they are grown. We have worked hard to figure out how best to make this a reality, and that is why we landed on biodynamic farming – less inputs means less manipulation which means a more direct representation of terroir (to use the French term).”
Jordan Fiorentini, Winemaker
What is Biodynamic farming?
In day-to-day practice, the goal of biodynamic farming is to create a farm system that is minimally dependent on imported materials, and instead meets its needs from the living dynamics of the farm itself. It is the biodiversity of the farm, organized so that the waste of one part of the farm becomes the energy for another, that results in an increase in the farm’s capacity for self-renewal and, ultimately, makes the farm sustainable.
Why good farming matters?
Good wine is made from good grapes, and good grapes come from healthy vineyards. By taking care of our soil and training our vines to be more self-sustaining, our vines live longer and our wines can more directly reflect the special sites on which they are grown.

Dog Policy
At our dog-friendly patio, we love having your furry friends join us! To ensure everyone has a great time, we require all dogs to be kept on a leash no longer than 6 feet and are under their owner’s supervision at all times. Well-behaved and groomed pups who are free of fleas and up-to-date on vaccinations are welcome here. Although dogs aren’t allowed inside (except for service animals), they can enjoy the outdoor vibe with us. If your pup gets a bit too excited or starts barking excessively, we might kindly request that you take them home to keep the atmosphere peaceful for all our guests.
