Sonoma Mountain Vineyards is a family-owned winery located in Santa Rosa, CA, known for producing top-quality wine from the historic van der Kamp Vineyard. Situated at an elevation of 1,500 feet on Sonoma Mountain, this vineyard holds a rich cultural significance as a sacred place for local Native Americans. With a focus on organic farming and environmental sustainability, the vineyard's unique terroir, characterized by thin top soil and a patchwork of soil types, contributes to the production of structured and exceptional wines. For over four decades, the van der Kamp family has nurtured their vineyard, which boasts some of California's oldest Pinot Noir plantings from 1952. Ulysses van der Kamp, the current steward of the land, walks the vineyard daily, following his father's belief that the farmer's shadow is the best fertilizer. With a commitment to maximizing biodiversity and being fully sustained by their crops, Sonoma Mountain Vineyards offers a truly magical and sustainable wine experience.Generated from the website
