Mendocino Co Food Wine Farms

Mendocino Food Wine Farms is a curated culinary map of Mendocino County — one of Northern California's greatest food and wine destinations, and one of its least known. Fifty-five hand-selected spots, every pin placed by hand, every description written with genuine knowledge of the place. WINERIES The full arc of Anderson Valley — from Navarro Vineyards and Husch (the valley's oldest, established 1971) to Roederer Estate and Scharffenberger Cellars, California's benchmark sparkling wine producers. Smaller estates: Lula Cellars, Toulouse Vineyards, Foursight, Handley. The Yorkville Highlands with Yorkville Cellars and Meyer Family Winery. Pacific Star Winery on its ocean bluff north of Fort Bragg. Drew Family Cellars in Little River, producing some of the most site-specific Pinot Noir in California. RESTAURANTS Harbor House Inn in Elk — a Michelin-starred kitchen built entirely around what the inn's farm and the surrounding coast produce. Cafe Beaujolais in Mendocino, the original farm-to-table pioneer. Maritime Cafe in Elk, where alums of Chez Panisse and Pizzaiolo cook from a weekly-changing menu. Boonville Hotel Restaurant, Johnny Schmitt's seasonal farm kitchen in the heart of Anderson Valley. Stanford Inn's Ravens' Restaurant — one of the finest plant-based kitchens in California. FARM STANDS & MARKETS Philo Apple Farm and its sixty-plus heirloom varieties. Pennyroyal Farm, Mendocino County's only farmstead cheesemaker — tasting goat cheese and Pinot Noir in the same sitting, looking out at the pasture. Filigreen Farm, the biodynamic operation that supplies Harbor House, Maritime Cafe, and the Boonville Hotel. Farmers markets in Fort Bragg, Mendocino, Boonville, and Ukiah. ARTISAN PRODUCERS Boonville Barn Collective and Piment d'Ville — the heritage Mendocino chile beloved by chefs from Chez Panisse to José Andrés.
