Organically Farmed. Sustainably Grown.
Every Sip Tells a Story
From soil to bottle, our wines reflect the land, the seasons, and the thoughtful choices made every step of the way.
At Bricoleur Vineyards, we believe winemaking is a deeply interconnected craft - one that begins with how we farm, what we put back into the soil and extends to every individual that contributes to each vintage. Growing on just over 63 acres of estate vineyards planted to 12 grape varieties, we have a keen sense of how each variety and clone responds to diligent hands in the vineyard. Through close monitoring of vigor, stress, and yields, we set out to strike phenolic ripeness to craft wines of varietal purity and intrigue. Measures taken in the cellar serve only to draw out the complexities assigned by our vineyard sites. From cool-climate Pinot Noir to sun-warmed slopes of the Mayacamas to mountain-top Zinfandel, every vineyard we work with tells a different story.

Our Vineyard Portfolio
Our Russian River Valley Estate
Located in the heart of Sonoma County, Bricoleur Vineyards sits on 20 acres in the Russian River Valley AVA - one of California’s most prestigious regions for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Our Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines are rooted in Huichica clay loam soils, and benefit from the cool coastal influence of the Pacific Ocean. The signature marine fog brings dramatic temperature swings, allowing our grapes to maintain vibrant acidity and develop thought-provoking complexity.
This organically farmed, Certified California Sustainable vineyard features seven distinct Pinot Noir clones (115, 459, 777, Calera, Swan, Mt. Eden and Pommard) and two Chardonnay clones (Wente and Musqué), offering our winemaking team a diverse palette for crafting layered, expressive wines.
Our Fountaingrove Estate: Kick Ranch
Kick Ranch is a 43-acre organically farmed, Certified California Sustainable vineyard nestled on the western slopes of the Mayacamas in Sonoma’s Fountaingrove District AVA, topping out at 500 feet in elevation. Defined by its rocky, volcanic soils, sun-drenched, south-facing slopes, this site offers ideal conditions for Rhône and Bordeaux varietals. Cool coastal winds from the nearby Petaluma Gap create dramatic diurnal shifts, extending the growing season, enhancing the structure, minerality, and complexity of the fruit. Originally planted in 2001, the vineyard has earned a reputation as one of Sonoma County’s marquee sites for Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Syrah.
At Bricoleur Vineyards, we work with select blocks from Kick Ranch to craft expressive wines including Grenache, Viognier, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon Blanc. Located just outside Santa Rosa, Kick Ranch is a cornerstone of our portfolio, reflecting the best of volcanic soils, coastal influence, and precision farming.
A Jewel in Our Vineyard Portfolio
As part of Bricoleur Vineyards’ curated vineyard portfolio, the Rockpile growing sites showcase our dedication to place-driven wines. Nestled high above Lake Sonoma at over 1,200 feet, these vineyards are defined by red rocky soils, steep slopes, sweeping sun exposure, and persistent wind. These conditions challenge the vines and yield intensely concentrated fruit.
Our Rockpile Zinfandel comes from two distinct sites within the AVA, each offering unique elevation and aspect. Together, they produce Zinfandel with rich, layered character - dark fruit, spice, and a structure that speaks to the rugged terrain from which it comes. This vineyard is a powerful counterpart to our estate sites in Russian River Valley and Fountaingrove District, illustrating the diversity of Sonoma County terroir.

Stewards Of the Land
We believe the land is not ours to own, it’s ours to care for. It was here before us, and it’s our responsibility to preserve it for those who come after. Our winemaking begins with that mindset: a deep respect for nature and a commitment to sustainability that shapes everything we do.
Sustainability at Our Core
Our process starts in the vineyard, where we sustainably farm two estate properties: 20 acres in the Russian River Valley and 43 acres in the Fountaingrove District. As organically farmed, Certified California Sustainable vineyards, we are committed to giving back to the land that offers us so much each year. Cover cropping, soil building, and water conservation are core to our winegrowing tenants.
Farming With Purpose
Across our estate vineyards, we tend to twelve grape varieties, each planted with care and intention. Our intimate connection to every block allows us to adapt thoughtfully throughout the growing season, ensuring the quality and integrity of our fruit.
Varietal and Site Expression
In the cellar, we let the fruit guide us. We smell, taste, and listen - allowing each wine to reveal its path. Our white and rosé wines are crisp, expressive, and see mostly stainless steel to highlight purity. Our red wines offer nuance, depth, and complexity, shaped by gentle winemaking techniques and restrained oak.
