Daring people making daring wines - Growing winegrapes in the Mt. Veeder Appellation is hard. Highly variable hillsides require that much of the farming be done by hand. Low rainfall calls for dry farming and an eye toward conservation. Mt. Veeder growers tend to be a daring lot, independent, with a love of the land and great personal commitment. The result is outstanding wines that are uniquely Mt Veeder — made by hand by dedicated growers and vintners with grapes that are intense and full bodied.

Diversity with a common thread - Mt. Veeder Appellation has great diversity, with vast changes in elevation, soils, climate and farming practices. Yet there is a common thread of intensity that runs through Mt. Veeder wines, distinguishing them from their valley-floor cousins.

A tradition of Environmental responsibility - Growers in Mt. Veeder Appellation were practicing organic farming and sustainability before they were trendy. Vineyards represent only a small percentage of the total Mt. Veeder Appellation acreage. The result is very high biodiversity, and less need for intervention to control pests.
