Elke Vineyards

About Winery and Wines

Elke Vineyards is a small, family-owned vineyard and winery. We started growing grapes over thirty years ago, and we continue growing grapes because we value that connection to the land. We have prized vineyards in Anderson and Napa Valleys, and we grow grapes for a number of celebrated Pinot Noir and sparkling wine houses, such as Roederer Estate, Au Bon Climat, Far Niente, Saintsbury, and Goldeneye. In 1997, we began to save some of our favorite Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay grapes for our own wines. We produce limited quantities of each wine, using traditional, handcrafted winemaking at our winery in Anderson Valley. This type of winemaking allows our wines to be "wines of a place," meaning that they will speak to you of where the grapes were grown, and the conditions under which they grew.
