Mountain View Vineyard

We're on a mission to create fun experiences for our guests, and make the finest products with the least amount of chemical intervention in the vineyard, winemaking, and brewing process.

Minimizing Chemical Interventions

By growing disease resistant grape varieties, we minimize the use of fungicides. We mulch around the base of the vines, which not only suppresses weeds, but also helps retain moisture from the rainfall & promotes the growth of beneficial fungi and microbial activity by adding organic matter to the soil. To reduce our use of synthetic fertilizer, we compost cardboard packaging with wood chips from a local tree trimmer, animal manure, and spent beer grains from our brewery.

Preventing Erosion

Erosion from our mountainside is prevented by our “no till” farming, and we plant grass and clover between our vineyard rows. The clover replenishes nitrogen removed from the soil by our vines. We’ve also installed beautiful rain gardens that gather rainwater that might otherwise lead to erosion. The plants and flowers in our rain gardens, as well as the wildflower fields we planted, are not only beautiful, but they’re pollinators that attract beneficial insects and butterflies. They also provide food for winter birds.

Other Eco-Friendly Methods

We use geothermal heating & cooling, LED lighting, recycle all glass, paper, cardboard and plastic, and eliminate paper tasting sheets with reusable laminated tasting sheets. We also recycle spent beer grains from our brewery by using them to feed our chickens and livestock, composting them for fertilizer for our vineyard, and for making dog biscuits.

Coming Soon

With the expansion of our organic vegetable & herb gardens this spring, we hope to provide delicious, fresh produce for our bistro.
