Re: Generation
Farming with the next generation we are enhancing the natural regenerative processes that promote the integrative resilience and ecological diversity that keeps our land and our lives healthy. Spanning beyond sustainability, and with a generational perspective, we are farming to not just sustain but regenerate our land. Our farming practices are focused on sequestering carbon, building soil health, improving water holding capacity, and increasing biodiversity to support essential ecosystem functions for generations to come.
Rooted expression
Our dry-farmed grapes and wines have the ability to transport you to this coastal mountain vineyard set at a 2,400ft elevation above the fog line. Our wines yield a true expression of this place. You can taste the acidity of our timber soils, the freshness from our coastal influence, the brightness of the fruit flavors from our southern sun exposure all balanced with the complexity and minerality that our deeply rooted, non-irrigated vines capture.
Grape Growing Crafted by Element & Altitude:
- High Elevation → A longer growing season that yields a greater flavor concentration in our mountain fruit.
- Above the Fog Line → Exceptional sun exposure balanced by cool coastal influences.
- Cool-Climate → Grapes ripen slowly, preserving natural acidity and developing complex flavors that produce balanced, elegant, and age-worthy wines.
- Dry-Farmed → Deeply rooted, non-irrigated vines produce smaller berries with intense character and minerality.
- Regeneratively Farmed → Building healthier soils that support vineyard resilience, balanced vine growth, and a more authentic expression of terroir.
Collaborations
We are proud partners of Zero Foodprint’s initiative for collective climate action. Through donations across the food system Zero Foodprint funds regenerative farm projects that sequester carbon & build healthy soils resulting in better food, thriving farms and restored climate.
We are proud members of CAFF underlying our commitment to building a more sustainable food & farming system through resilient family farms, communities and ecosystems.

Mariah Vineyards is a proud member of the Anderson Valley Winegrowers Association. A non-profit community of growers, wineries and local businesses dedicated to supporting and promoting the region through education, marketing, advocacy and events.
With the support of the Seeds for Bees® program we are enhancing & diversifying our cover crops to provide forage for bees – all while improving soil health, ecosystem function, and promoting sustainable farming practices. The seed mixes are designed to bloom at critical parts of the year, when natural forage is scarce, and pollinators need it most.
Aligned with the Monarch Joint Venture’s mission to protect monarchs and their migration, we are collaborating partners with MJV working on the creation and conservation of habitat that supports thriving monarch populations in our coastal mountain ecosystem.
We are thrilled to be a “Bee Friendly Vineyard” and support the important mission of creating a world where bees enrich our working landscapes and our lives. Working together we are creating a vibrant, biodiverse and resilient bee habitat buzzing with healthy bees that are coexisting with the wildlife in and around our vines.
