FARMING

Peach Tree Lane Vineyard is located in Willow Creek, CA, a small community in the Trinity River Valley and its 60 acres are owned and operated by us, Miles Garrett and Carla Barroso. Warm inland air during the day, cool ocean breezes at night and a long growing season make for optimum ripening while maintaining good, crisp acidity. The vineyard is perched on a south/southwest facing hillside at 900 feet elevation, on an ancient river shoulder. Peach Tree Lane Vineyard has been farmed organically and certified by CCOF since the beginning (year 2000) when David Winnett, previous owner, planted all the grapes. When in 2016 we adquired the vineyard, we kept the same type of organic farming but also made few changes. We now dry farms the vines, plant cover crop and allow the farm animals (donkeys, pigs, chickens, etc.) into the vineyard at certain times to graze. We are now working on some new varieties and slowly growing the vineyard. All vineyard work is done by us, our friends, family & volunteers.
