Willow Creek AVA
Humboldt County, California

Wines of Character, Tradition and Terroir

Trinity River Vineyards estate vineyard, Gardner Ranch was planted in 1973 in Willow Creek, CA — the oldest Humboldt County vines still producing wine. Tucked away on uplifted river bed near the wild and scenic Trinity River, the vineyard produces mature and elegant Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Established in 1983, it is one to the oldest, smallest and most northern of all the AVA’s of California. We also source grapes from our neighbors in Humboldt and Mendocino Counties. All the grapes we farm are organically grown using ZERO synthetic chemicals and inputs. Welcome to wines of character, tradition and terroir!
