Joseph Swan Vineyards is a small family owned winery located in the heart of Sonoma County, California's famed Russian River Valley.

Although we specialize in vineyard designated pinot noir and old vine zinfandel, we also produce small lots of other wines including Rhone style wine, pinot gris and chardonnay.
We strive to make interesting wines that reflect their unique origins and to price them fairly. The mere fact that we are still here after 40 years means we must be doing something right.Rod Berglund, a lifelong Sonoma County resident, began his winemaking career in 1979 at La Crema Vinera (predecessor to La Crema). That same year he produced his first Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Over the years he has made Pinot from many grape growing areas but firmly believes that the Russian River Valley is without peer in the new world for the potential to consistently produce world class Pinot Noir.
A committed terroirist, he believes that wine's first duty is to express a sense of place. In 1987 he joined Joe Swan to help him finish the harvest. The following year he took over the winemaking at Joseph Swan Vineyards and continues to follow in the footsteps of one of California's Pinot pioneers.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
