About Bonterra Organic Estates
Bonterra Organic Estates is the most nationally distributed and most comprehensively organic-farming-certified large wine brand in California. The McNab Ranch property — 1,400 certified organic estate acres across the Ukiah, Redwood Valley, and Hopland growing corridors in Mendocino County — represents the most ambitious single organic vineyard estate commitment available from any large-volume California wine producer.
Bonterra's founding organic conviction — established in 1987 when Fetzer Vineyards committed to organic farming practices on the McNab Ranch property years before the California wine industry's broader organic movement — made Bonterra the most nationally recognized pioneer of the conviction that large-volume California wine production could be both commercially viable and comprehensively organically certified. The subsequent conversion to biodynamic farming on the McNab Ranch estate made Bonterra's most ambition-scale organic and biodynamic commitment even more dramatically comprehensive.
The Hopland Visitor Center — with daily walk-in tasting access, the most broadly family-welcoming and dog-friendly grounds, picnic areas, and organic garden demonstrations — provides the most accessible and most educationally organic-farming-comprehensive large California wine estate visitor experience. For wine lovers who want to understand what genuinely large-scale committed organic and biodynamic California wine farming looks like at the most comprehensive single-estate organic certification scale available in the industry, Bonterra provides the most personally organic-farming-large-scale-comprehensively-demonstrating and nationally-organic-brand-familiar California wine appointment.
