This picture perfect, well manicured Sonoma Valley vineyard is owned by the Benziger Family. It is found along Route 12, just southeast of Santa Rosa, California. This winery operation promotes a new term, biodynamics, for an unique style of balanced land management. Biodynamics utilizes the best types of soil for various, distinct flavors. In this bowl shaped valley 42 acres are devoted to growing grapes, avoiding inorganic fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides. More than 30 acres are self regulating habitats to attract beneficial insects and wildlife. This well kept vineyard is noted for its merlot, pinot blanc, chardonnay and fume blanc. A tram tour of this family style business gives a fascinating and in-depth look into the wine making process.
