Originally planted by John Kongsgaard, the St. Andrews Vineyard is the nucleus of our regenerative and promiscuous farming efforts. The vines are interplanted with apple trees to increase the health of the soil, providing better quality wines. Special insectary rows of cover crop feed the pollinators such as bees and butterflies and there is also a grazing pasture for our sheep and chickens.

First planted in 1870s by Swiss-Italian immigrants, Sorenson Vineyard has served as the beating heart of Burgess for more than 150 years. Climbing 800-1000 feet above sea level, this vineyard is carved into the western-facing slopes of Howell Mountain, overlooking the Napa Valley below. The landscape is dotted with large boulders on the “Konocti Series Volcanics” soil, a very densely compacted volcanic ash, as pines and redwoods surround the vineyard, becoming immersed in morning fog during the harvest months.
