Ampelos has been a family endeavor from the start…. initially “corporate folks”, we loved getting away to the Sta. Rita Hills on weekends and dreamt of one day planting our own vineyard and making wines. A cancelled meeting on the morning of September 11, 2001 helped us to realize that someday was today!

Ampelos is the greek word for “vine” chosen because we believe that all “great wines start in the vineyard”. We employ biodynamic farming practices, with rich cover crops, our own compost, elimination of herbicides and in general good, environmentally conscientious farming -- one of the first vineyards in the United States to be certified sustainable, organic and biodynamic. We are truly a small boutique winery producing about 3500 cases a year focusing on Viognier, Rose of Syrah, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Grenache.

One of the best things about being winemakers is our opportunity to meet and share our love for wine with others. Come and visit us and join us for a glass of wine.
