About Fetzer Vineyards
Fetzer Vineyards carries the German-heritage family surname of Barney Fetzer — his name on a Mendocino County estate established in 1968 that became one of California's most nationally distributed wine brands. The Fetzer family's pioneering commitment to organic farming in the 1980s and 1990s — at a time when organic viticulture was considered commercially impractical for a winery of any significant scale — made Fetzer a national leader in sustainable wine production before such credentials were a marketing advantage. The Hopland estate demonstrates that organic farming at commercial scale could produce wines of consistent quality at accessible everyday pricing.
