elcome to the wineries and vineyards of 2
Humboldt County—a community of artisan Orleans
wineries and vineyards whose passion and
enthusiasm for wine is matched by the quality of their
products. Humboldt is a county of diverse growing and
wine making areas, from the vineyards and wineries
scattered amongst the redwoods of Southern Humboldt to
those winding river and forest canyons of the East county,
and the wineries in the Northern County that feel the cool
breezes of the Pacific Ocean. These diverse regions produce a variety of grapes
ideally matched to the micro-climates and soils of these areas. Most of the vintners
13
are happy to welcome guests and are only open by appointment.
