Jack London Lodge Winery

Jack London Lodge Winery operates within Jack London State Historic Park — the preserved Beauty Ranch estate that America's most celebrated adventure writer considered his greatest achievement and where he spent the most productive and personally satisfying years of his short life. London purchased the Glen Ellen land beginning in 1905 and spent the last decade of his life developing what he called 'the ranch of good intentions' — a model organic farm that was genuinely ahead of its time in its commitment to sustainable and ecological farming.

The winery, established within the park in 1976, produces estate Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends from 130 acres of certified organic Sonoma Mountain vineyards that surround Wolf House (the mansion London built and that burned days before he was to move in), the Cottage where London wrote, and the preserved buildings of his dream farm. The wines are genuinely estate-grown from the Sonoma Mountain volcanic soils that London himself identified as exceptional for farming.

Visiting the Jack London Lodge Winery is as much a literary pilgrimage as a wine tasting: the preserved grounds, museum, and ruins of Wolf House provide a historical and cultural context that no other Sonoma County winery can offer. Estate Cabernet from a Sonoma Mountain certified organic vineyard, inside a state park dedicated to one of America's greatest writers, makes every visit genuinely extraordinary.
