A very small, intimate winery off the beaten path but worth finding. If you love those intense mountain cabernets you really need to seek this winery out. I can't remember having a better host or a better wine tasting!

Highly recommend! Super wine, excellent setting, and peaceful vibe on the top of a hill. Extremely knowledgeable host and overall a great experience. Thanks Martin!
For nearly three decades we have produced elegant and balanced wines from our Mendocino hillside estate vineyard, as well as a few selected vineyards in California. As pioneers of this region, we carry a proud and proven heritage of farming and hand-crafting wines that can stand the test of time. Hand-crafted at Alta Orsa Winery means: no tractors or equipment in our organic no-till vineyard, and minimal use of pumps or machinery during élevage. We view winemaking as a reliable adventure – we seek to highlight the difference of each vintage and allow each vineyard site to reveal its perpetual personality, while guiding all wines to their highest possible quality.
