WILLIAMSON FAMILY
. . . four generations have chosen Healdsburg . . .
We came here from Australia - it was just a business trip - and then we found these valleys of Northern California - and stayed!
Designed by Nature to grow some of the finest wine grapes on the planet, these valleys have very similar geology and climate conditions to the traditionally great wine regions of France and all conveniently located within a thirty minute drive.
Napa Valley with its powerful Cabernet Sauvignon is similar to Bordeaux's Left Bank while Dry Creek Valley trends similar to Bordeaux's Right Bank areas of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol, producing exquisite Merlot.
Russian River Valley challenges Burgundy with its Chardonnay and Pinot Noir while the surrounding rocky hillsides reflect the growing conditions of the Rhône Valley, producing fine examples of Grenache, Shiraz (Syrah) and Mourvedre.
Making Wine—But Not Just Wine!
We make French-style wines because that’s what our terroir calls for—but with our own twists.Our wines are natural and healthy, crafted from sustainably farmed vineyards, free of chemicals, and nurtured for quality. By focusing on low-yield, late-ripening grapes, we create wines that are both approachable early and built to last.
We produce single-vineyard, single-varietal wines as standalone expressions, then use them as building blocks for our expertly blended wines. From classic Bordeaux and Châteauneuf-du-Pape styles to unique creations like Sparkling Malbec and Sparkling Shiraz, our goal is wines that excite the palate and pair beautifully with food.
A team of talented chefs ensures each wine finds its perfect culinary companion and we share these wines exclusively with those who truly appreciate them, building lasting friendships through our private wine club.
Yep—been there, done that!
