If you know any farmers in North America making great wine, please let us know. We have begun our search for authentic wine in the U.S. and Canada. If one of your suggestions meets our criteria and we start working with the farm you recommend, we will hook you up with some cool stuff.

The basic criteria for Farmstead Wines are simple, yet very difficult to meet when a farmer must meet all of them.
* Small, family farm—We know each farmer personally and have inspected the vineyards and cellar carefully.
* Wine is grown, not made—Our farmers grow great grapes and then do not manipulate the wine.
* Our farmers are vinaroons—Vinaroon is old English meaning the farmer is also the winemaker.
* Naturally farmed—We certify that all Farmstead wines are organically farmed. Our farmers work in harmony with nature. No synthetic chemicals, no herbicides, no pesticides and no irrigation.
* Delicious—The wines are balanced and harmonious with a focus on depth and complexity of flavors.
