What's the vibe?

Wayfarer Wines is focused, precise, and quietly confident, centred on producing refined cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a single, organically farmed estate on the remote Fort Ross–Seaview AVA of the Sonoma Coast. The wines reflect a balance of richness and tension shaped by intense coastal sunlight, cold Pacific air, and meticulous vineyard work.

The Wine

Return to contents
Wayfarer Wines specialises exclusively in cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The single estate vineyard spans approximately 30 acres in the Fort Ross–Seaview AVA, organically farmed and planted on steep coastal ridges above the fog line.

Winemaking is led by Bibiana González Rave, with an emphasis on site expression, balance, and longevity. The wines are widely recognised for their elegance and precision, with early vintages receiving exceptional critical acclaim.

Grapes are grown on the Sonoma Coast estate and vinified at Wayfarer’s winery facility in Healdsburg, allowing close control over every stage of production.
