How a windbreak became the center of the estate.
Garden & Cask grew from a vineyard windbreak planted with herbs and fruit trees to protect beneficial insects through the dry season.
The garden expanded into a kitchen, event lawn, and public path linking the tasting room to every productive corner of the estate.
“Biodiversity is not a backdrop. It is part of the cellar equipment.”
The cellar moved to smaller lots and slower decisions.
Direct releases began with one shared table.
The current chapter opened around place, craft, and welcome.
