The first working season in North Valley.
Working since 2006
Five farms, one road, and a shared cellar.
Northline began as a shared crush space for three neighboring farms and a hand-painted sign beside the county road.

Five farms, one road, and a shared cellar.
Northline began as a shared crush space for three neighboring farms and a hand-painted sign beside the county road.
The growers eventually built one common cellar, preserving each farm's voice while sharing labor, equipment, and a public table.
“A winery should feel useful to the place around it, not placed on top of it.”
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.
