Frog's Leap Winery

Biodiversity-rich estate with historic sustainable farming techniques

Best known for: Organic farming and dry farming practices

Frog’s Leap Winery, located in Rutherford, California, is celebrated for its dedication to organic farming and sustainable practices.

Established nearly four decades ago by John Williams, the winery emphasizes the importance of terroir, which they define as the sum of influences that make their wines unique.

The estate vineyards are farmed organically without irrigation, allowing the vines to thrive on natural rainfall. This method, known as dry farming, encourages deeper root growth and results in more balanced and nuanced wines.

The winery also integrates biodiversity into its farming practices, fostering a healthy ecosystem that supports both the vines and the surrounding environment.

With a skilled workforce dedicated to the care of the vineyards, Frog’s Leap Winery continues to produce exceptional wines that reflect their commitment to the land and the principles of balance, restraint, and respect for nature.
