About Inman Family Wines
Inman Family Wines is one of the Russian River Valley's most principled and genuinely personal wine estates. Kathleen Inman, who grew up in a teetotalling Napa Valley family, discovered wine through a transformative European tasting experience, and redirected her professional life entirely toward wine production, founded the estate in 2000 on Russian River Valley land near Santa Rosa that she farms biodynamically as the Olivet Grange vineyard.
The wine program reflects Kathleen's exceptional curiosity: Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir are the estate anchors, but the program extends to Rosé, sparkling wines made using méthode champenoise, and even vermouth, one of California's very few estate vermouth programs, produced from biodynamic estate herbs and wine. Every wine is a direct expression of Kathleen's farming philosophy and her conviction that biodynamic estate viticulture produces wines of genuine character that certified conventional farming cannot replicate.
The Santa Rosa Piner Road tasting experience, intimate, appointment-based, and personally oriented, provides direct access to one of the RRV's most unusual and intellectually satisfying programs. Kathleen Inman's story, farming philosophy, and the extraordinary range of what she produces from a single biodynamic estate make Inman Family one of the most rewarding winery discoveries available in the Russian River Valley.
