About Golden Cellars
Golden Cellars is a family-owned Mendocino estate winery crafting small-lot wines from organic and biodynamic grapes. Our wine is made with care, honesty, and no harmful chemicals.
A Family Winery
Golden Cellars is family-owned and family-run. Every decision, from how we farm to how we pour, is made by the people whose name is on the bottle.
We're not a corporation and are not owned by one. We're a family that is applying generations of knowledge about this land, and we make wine the way we'd want to drink it. Clean, honest and the highest quality.
Farmed Organic & Biodynamic
Our vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically. This means that we farm without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. We treat the estate as a single living system, where the soil, the vines, the cover crops, and the animals all work together.
Biodynamic farming asks us to work with the rhythms of the land rather than against them. It is slower and more demanding, but it gives us healthier soils, more resilient vines, and wines that taste unmistakably of where they come from. We believe that the best wines are made in the vineyard and healthy vines are a key part of that.
Estate-Grown in Mendocino County
Every bottle we make begins in our vineyards. Growing the fruit ourselves means we control every step, from bud break to bottling. This allows us to ensure each vintage express the particular character of our hillsides and the care it was grown with.
We make wine in small lots and release only what we are proud of. The result is honest, estate-grown wine that reflects our family, our farming, and our home in Mendocino County.
