The Ranch's Vineyards & Wines

 
 

A Russian River Valley property with a long and colorful history, the ranch has produced a variety of crops, including wine grapes, over the past 100 years.  Today there are estate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio vineyards; in development are site-specific plantings of other grape varieties that excel in the soils and climate of our appellation.  The winery, located in the historic kiln, produces two wine brands:  Hop Kiln and HK Generations (debuted in 2006).
