Flowers Winery
As nursery owners in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Walt and Joan Flowers had long dreamed of combining their love of wine with their passion for agriculture.
In 1989, after many information-gathering trips to Napa and Sonoma, Walt and Joan purchased 321 acres high above the Pacific Ocean on the northern Sonoma Coast.
The rugged property, situated less than two miles from the Pacific Ocean, included a ridge top, at elevation ranging from 1150 to 1400 feet. It did not take Walt and Joan long to see that they were standing on a “warm site in a cool climate,” the ideal growing conditions for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Today, Flowers Winery produces 15,000 cases of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from its two estate properties, Camp Meeting Ridge and Flowers Ranch, as well as select vineyards in the coolest regions of the Sonoma Coast AVA, farmed to Flowers’ specifications by their own crews.
13-time Winner “American Winery of the Year”, Wine & Spirits Magazine.
“To taste the indisputably original savour of Pinot Noirs from producers such as Flowers, Hirsch and Peay is to marvel at America’s Pinot Noir treasures.” – Matt Kramer, “Seven Wine to Try Before, well, You Know”, Wine Spectator, November 2009
