Est. Healdsburg · Sonoma County
We built this place with our hands and our hearts. There's no rush here. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass, and let the Russian River Valley do the rest.
Our Story
Benovia began with a simple conviction: that the best wine starts with patience, respect for the land, and a willingness to do things the slow way.
Nestled along Felta Ridge in the heart of Healdsburg, our estate sits where the Russian River Valley opens wide and the coastal fog rolls in just enough to stretch the growing season. That balance — warmth and cool air, rich soil and well-drained hillsides — is what gives our wines their signature grace.
Every bottle carries the same intention it did on day one: to make something honest. Something that tastes like this place. Something worth sharing.
Our Wines
Each varietal tells a different part of the same story — the climate, the soil, the care that goes into every harvest.
Our most requested wine. Dark cherry, dried herb, and a velvety finish that lingers. A true expression of the Russian River terroir.
Bright apple and citrus with a subtle toast from barrel aging. Crisp, layered, and quietly complex — the wine we reach for most evenings.
Traditional method, second fermentation in the bottle. Fine bubbles, toasted almond, and a bright acidity that makes every sip feel like a celebration.
The Estate
Felta Ridge is more than an address — it's a landscape that shapes everything we do. The morning fog, the afternoon sun, the ancient gravel soils — each element leaves its mark on the fruit.
We farm by hand, prune by feel, and harvest when the sugar and acid reach that rare moment of balance. Our winery is small by design, which means every batch receives attention that larger producers simply can't match.
Three generations of hands in the vineyard, making decisions that honor the land.
Every barrel is tracked, every vintage is a story, and nothing is rushed.
We host our neighbors, support local causes, and keep the door open to anyone who wants to learn.
