Our Values

Farmstead Wines is committed to providing delicious, handcrafted, earth-friendly wine made by the same farmers who cultivate the grapes. We proudly place the Farmstead Wines seal on each of our wines as a guarantee of authenticity — a commitment that the Farmstead Wines selection is handcrafted by farmers, through natural methods. We pledge to continue the search for great tasting, family farmed wines. 

We use a set of strict selection criteria that are very difficult to meet individually, let alone together. It makes our search for great wine difficult, yet immensely pleasurable.

Vinaroon-crafted. Each wine in the Farmstead Wines collection is hand-made by the same people who cultivate the grapes. Our farmers are masters of their craft and have an intimate connection with their land. This passion and knowledge are mirrored in the wine.  Great wine is made in the vineyard, not the laboratory.

Small, family farms. Our wines come from small, family vineyards. These farms are known in their local communities for their long-standing, traditional approaches to winemaking.  Whether farming for generations or just a few years their approach respects and delicately tends the earth.

Naturally farmed. Our farmers utilize practices associated with sustainable agriculture and biodiversity, not limited to environmentally friendly practices like natural pest control and natural irrigation. Following the success of the artisan food movement, Farmstead Wines values the pleasures of the table and protects our food heritage against homogenization in what is becoming an increasingly fast food culture. Our approach includes a conscious effort towards taste education and sourcing of unique wines and varietals.

Simply delicious. Every bottle in the Farmstead Wines collection is delicious and delivers value for its price. Farmstead Wines are balanced and harmonious with a focus on depth and complexity of flavors.
