Bricoleur Vineyards
Organically Farmed. Sustainably Grown.
Every Sip Tells a Story
From soil to bottle, our wines reflect the land, the seasons, and the thoughtful choices made every step of the way.
At Bricoleur Vineyards, we believe winemaking is a deeply interconnected craft - one that begins with how we farm, what we put back into the soil and extends to every individual that contributes to each vintage. Growing on just over 63 acres of estate vineyards planted to 12 grape varieties, we have a keen sense of how each variety and clone responds to diligent hands in the vineyard. Through close monitoring of vigor, stress, and yields, we set out to strike phenolic ripeness to craft wines of varietal purity and intrigue. Measures taken in the cellar serve only to draw out the complexities assigned by our vineyard sites. From cool-climate Pinot Noir to sun-warmed slopes of the Mayacamas to mountain-top Zinfandel, every vineyard we work with tells a different story.

So do yourself (and both Scotts) a favor, grab a bottle of our award-winning spirits and pull up a deck chair, blanket, or weathered wooden stump. The fog should be rolling in soon and there are plenty more stories to make up.

Non-Alcoholic Beverages
Acqua Panna
The unique taste of Acqua Panna Natural Mineral Water comes from the earth. North of Florence, in the foothills of the Apennines, to be precise. Each drop takes a 14-year journey through the aquifer beneath the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany. The result: a unique mineral composition, with its natural pH.
Every sip evokes the authentic essence of Tuscany; the rolling countryside, idyllic villages, rich culture and, of course, the love of exceptional food. This elegance and taste is partly why Acqua Panna is a favorite among chefs and sommeliers, and explains why it elevates the tables of fine dining establishments around the world. The other reason: its balanced taste is the perfect pairing for food and wine alike, enhancing flavor and drawing out nuance.
San Pellegrino
At Sanpellegrino, we believe in the power of taste and creativity to transform lives. For more than 125 years, we have been proudly exporting Italian style and quality around the world to enhance your tasteful moments.
Nonprofits
Farming Hope
We’re all hungry to give back and belong.
Farming Hope is a culinary job training and food justice nonprofit. Our paid, transitional employment program helps adults transition to personal well-being while nourishing food-insecure neighbors and rescuing food from going to waste.
La Cocina
La Cocina is a nonprofit working to solve problems of equity in business ownership for women, immigrants, and people of color.
When these populations have greater access to opportunities, our entire economy benefits. Despite owning a growing share of businesses, they still face barriers—earning 57-83 cents for every dollar their white, male counterparts make.
Closing these gaps could add a potential $4.4 trillion boost to the U.S. economy, creating more jobs and opportunities for everyone.
We provide affordable kitchen space to talented entrepreneurs.
The high cost of renting a commercial kitchen makes it difficult for many working-class food entrepreneurs to formalize their business. Our kitchen space lets people who were formerly shut out of the food industry find a way in.
We offer hands-on training, mentorship, and market opportunities.
New businesses undergo a series of classes in product, finance, marketing and operations. We provide 1:1 mentorship to guide businesses and connect them to a variety of sales opportunities, from catering opportunities to farmers' markets and brick and mortars, so they can grow their business.
From Kitchen to Community:
La Cocina is built on the voices, experiences, and leadership of the entrepreneurs we serve. Through media, digital storytelling, and community events, we highlight their work, celebrate their impact, and uplift the role of small food businesses in shaping our cities.
