About Wild Hog Vineyard
Wild Hog Vineyard is one of Sonoma County wine's most genuinely remote and independently spirited small estates. Daniel and Marion Schoenfeld, who purchased the Cazadero Meyers Grade Road ridge property in 1990 and have been farming it with biodynamic principles ever since, produce 12 acres of Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, and Chardonnay from terrain that sits above the daily fog line that engulfs the coastal valleys below.
The Fort Ross-Seaview AVA, the most Pacific-proximate wine appellation in Sonoma County, pioneered by Flowers and Wild Hog in the 1990s before the region had any critical recognition whatsoever, produces wines of unusual mineral complexity, salinity, and structural tension that no valley-floor California Pinot Noir can approximate. Wild Hog's 12 acres of biodynamic farming on this specific Cazadero ridge site have been producing wines of genuine coastal character since before the rest of California's wine industry knew the Fort Ross-Seaview terrain existed.
The appointment-only tasting, at a genuinely remote ridge site that requires advance planning to reach, provides one of Sonoma County wine country's most genuine discovery experiences: a biodynamic small estate that the wine press has not transformed into a tourist destination.
