About Lynmar Estate
Lynmar Estate is often described as unlocking a secret garden door into the heart of Russian River Valley wine culture, and it's an apt description. The estate's half-acre perennial garden, carefully planted and tended over decades, is one of the most beautiful winery gardens in California and sets the tone for an experience that feels genuinely personal and special.
Founded in 1980 by Lynn and Anisya Fritz, the estate farms 45 acres of sustainably farmed vineyards in the heart of Russian River Valley, focused exclusively on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the two varieties that define the appellation. The wines are consistently excellent: precise, elegant, and showing the cool-climate character that makes RRV so distinctive.
Lynmar's food and wine pairings, incorporating produce directly from the estate garden, are among the most genuinely farm-to-table winery experiences in Sonoma County. The hospitality is warm and unhurried, making it one of those winery visits that guests consistently describe as the highlight of their Sonoma trip.
Lynmar Estate presents a featured lineup that includes Quail Hill Chardonnay, Susanna's Vineyard Pinot Noir, Estate Pinot Noir, and Estate Chardonnay. Together, these bottles provide a focused introduction to the varieties, vineyard sources, and style that define the winery's current portfolio.
