About

True expressions of Sonoma County

We are passionate about crafting small batch wines expressive of the unique clones and AVA's reflected in our Sonoma County Pinot Noir. Overseeing our vineyard operations is Rob Harris who has been farming grapes for us for over a dozen years. He sources the fruit for Head High Wines from like-minded, select growers in Sonoma County with a dedication to finding the highest quality fruit that embodies the coastal influence of this growing region.

Authentic qualities

Our winemaker Britt Richards takes a minimal approach to making these wines, focused on bringing out the qualities of the fruit. Our vineyards are planted with many of the same clonal selections, each one producing a different result based on the diversity of weather throughout Sonoma County. This results in a dynamic vineyard blend of each varietal based on its proximity to the ocean breezes so integral in growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

The ocean is at the heart of it all

Sonoma County’s proximity to the Pacific Ocean in the fog corridor offers warm summer days, and cool nights creating the perfect growing region for our wines. We produce local wines made from unique combinations of the sun, earth and sea.

We are committed to the greater good of the ocean through our name. Head High is a term for the perfect surfing wave. We donate a percentage of the sales of Head High Wines to environmental projects that support a cleaner ocean and healthier earth. As the first Verified Climate Neutral winery, you know you can enjoy wines made with a love for our planet.
