Alger Vineyards & Winery

Volcanic soil-driven wines with mountain character

Best known for: Award-winning premium estate wines

Alger Vineyards, located in the picturesque Manton Valley, has been crafting award-winning premium estate wines for over 40 years.

The vineyard benefits from volcanic soil, snowmelt waters from Lassen Volcanic National Park, and abundant sunshine, which all contribute to the unique character of its wines.

John and Linda Alger, the founders, emphasize genuine farming practices and often involve friends and neighbors in the harvest process, creating a community atmosphere around their winemaking.

The vineyard's altitude allows for cool nights during the hot summer growing season, resulting in grapes with excellent tannic structure and firm fruit acids.

With meticulous attention to detail, Alger Vineyards strives to create wines that reflect the distinctive mountain character and focused flavors of the region.
