Vineyard Philosophy
At Quivira Vineyards, our approach to farming and winemaking is rooted in a deep respect for the land. For our General Manager, Steve Domenichelli, this means growing wine in a way that nurtures the land and maintains a symbiotic relationship with it. Steve, who brings over thirty years of experience in vineyard care, wine production, and land stewardship, believes in listening to the land and taking only what’s needed—not more. His family’s farming background, which dates back to 1906 in Northern California, reflects his dedication to land first. At Quivira, we don’t take more than we give, and our commitment is to farm in harmony with the land, ensuring that future generations can continue to care for and grow from it.
Our vineyard is a place where sustainability and winemaking work hand in hand. We’ve dedicated ourselves to preserving Wine Creek, which now serves as a vital spawning habitat for Coho salmon and Steelhead trout, and we prioritize biodiversity throughout the estate. Our gardens, which include over 100 raised beds of heritage produce and spaces for wildlife, invite guests to explore the intersection of land, food, and wine.
At Quivira, we approach each vineyard and project with one simple goal: to listen to the land, care for it, and honor it by growing exceptional wines in a sustainable way. Every vine and every acre reflects our commitment to a thriving, balanced ecosystem, where the land is always our priority.

At Quivira Vineyards, we are proud to be a premier producer of Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc, and Rhône varietals. Our approach to winemaking is rooted in a deep commitment to sustainability and organic farming, with every decision guided by a focus on quality. We believe in the power of intentional winegrowing, investing in our estate and vineyards to create wines that reflect both the unique terroir of our unique placement in Dry Creek Valley as well as our dedication to organic practices. This thoughtful, hands-on approach ensures that every bottle we produce embodies the distinct characteristics that make our wines exceptional.
