In the heart of Sonoma County, two sister wineries—Quivira Vineyards in Dry Creek Valley and La Follette Wines in the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast—offer trade buyers a unique, complementary portfolio. Together, they deliver authenticity, sustainability, and precision, making them indispensable partners for curated wine lists and dynamic programs.
Quivira Vineyards: Organic Roots, Vibrant Expression
Long before sustainability was a buzzword, Quivira Vineyards embraced organic and biodynamic farming. Their 80+ acres are alive with diverse plantings, olive trees, and even a restored salmon-spawning creek—all of which inform wines of purity, depth, and balance.
Why Trade Buyers Should Take Notice
- Organic & Biodynamic Integrity – True farm-to-glass wines that highlight authenticity and terroir.
- Versatile Portfolio – From crisp, flinty Sauvignon Blanc to Rhône-inspired GSM and heritage Zinfandel, Quivira delivers flexibility and value.
- Exceptional QPR – With most wines under $30, Quivira offers high impact without inflated pricing, ideal for both by-the-glass programs and rotating seasonal features.
Signature Highlight
- 2022 Fig Tree Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc – Flinty minerality layered with grapefruit zest, honeyed nectar, and white jasmine. A refreshing white that resonates with sommeliers and consumers alike.
- Food Pairing: Lemon-Olive Oil Cake with Fig Sauce - This heritage pairing mirrors the wine’s citrus-driven backbone with bright, savory notes. (Recipe steps: lemon zest cake base, fig and honey reduction sauce, served warm to complement the wine’s acidity and depth.)
La Follette Wines: Precision in Pinot Noir & Chardonnay
