Quivira Vineyards & Winery

Quivira Vineyards is Dry Creek Valley's most celebrated organically and biodynamically farmed estate, a commitment that owner Charles Jackson established as a cornerstone of the winery's philosophy. The property encompasses 93 acres in the heart of Dry Creek Valley, including 80 acres of estate vineyards planted to Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc, Mourvèdre, Grenache, Syrah, and Petite Sirah. The winery has been organically and biodynamically farmed since 2012, making it one of Sonoma County's most rigorously farmed estates.

The biodynamic approach at Quivira extends well beyond the vineyards. The estate maintains a full working farm with livestock, gardens, olive groves, and beehives, a closed-loop agricultural system where every element supports the health of the whole. Sheep graze the vineyard rows in winter, chickens manage pest populations, and cover crops build soil vitality naturally. The result is wines of remarkable vibrancy and purity, with the estate Zinfandel in particular showing a freshness and energy that reflects the health of the land.

The tasting room on West Dry Creek Road offers one of Sonoma's most immersive agricultural experiences. Visitors can walk the estate gardens, meet the farm animals, and taste wines that genuinely reflect biodynamic farming in action. The Sauvignon Blanc is consistently one of the finest in Sonoma County, racy and mineral-driven, while the estate Zinfandel and Mourvèdre showcase the power and warmth of Dry Creek Valley fruit grown in living soils. For visitors interested in the intersection of sustainable farming and great wine, Quivira is as good as it gets.
