DeLoach Vineyards is a pioneering Russian River Valley winery producing terroir-driven Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Zinfandel from its Santa Rosa estate and a network of distinctive regional vineyard sites. Founded by Cecil and Christine DeLoach, the winery began growing Pinot Noir in 1971 and released its first vintage in 1975, later pairing Burgundian winemaking traditions with organic and Biodynamic farming under Boisset Family Estates. Its 20-acre estate includes a 17-acre vineyard certified organic by CCOF and Biodynamic by Demeter, along with a one-acre garden and the Theater of Nature.

  Oak Summit VineyardOak Summit Vineyard produces estate-bottled Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from six acres of vines in Millbrook’s Dutchess Cardigan gravelly loam. John and Nancy Bruno oversee hand-planted, hand-trained Dijon-clone vines, pruning away at least 30% of each crop to concentrate the character of the fruit. The Hudson River Region winery’s wines have earned more than 50 major awards in national and international competitions.MILLBROOK, NY
• Laleure Vineyards & WineryFounded by Rich and Betsy Hill on a former dairy farm in Parkman in 1997, Laleure Vineyards & Winery grows its own grapes and makes small-batch Ohio wines on the same Geauga County property. The boutique winery became official in 2002 and opened its tasting room in the converted milk-house in 2003, with a cellar that relies partly on the earth’s natural coolness rather than mechanical refrigeration. Its name honors Rich’s French-born grandmother and reflects the Hills’ interest in Loire Valley and Burgundy wine traditions.MIDDLEFIELD, OH
