Bringing Wines to Life
Sustainable Agriculture
Trinity River Vineyards wines are hand-crafted, un-manipulated agricultural products that speak of a specific place and time. Wines from the Willow Creek AVA, Humboldt County.
Trinity River Vineyards wine is true to varietal and tradition, but rare in its steep and mountainous terroir. Our passion for sustainable agriculture and the rich history of wine, is what drives our winemaking decisions. The wines are hand-crafted, unmanipulated agricultural products that speak of a specific place and time. We DO NOT fine our wines or use manipulated organisms; making our wine vegan and Non-GMO. The very small amount of sulfites we add is there to insure the consumer is getting the very best expression of our vineyards. Grown and created in a more European style, our wines pair wonderfully with food and age beautifully.
