is an iconic family-owned winery and vineyard located near Fort Ross on California’s rugged Sonoma Coast. Founded by David Hirsch in 1980, the estate is recognized as one of the pioneering vineyards of the True Sonoma Coast and has played a major role in establishing the region as one of the world’s premier locations for cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Perched on remote ridges overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the vineyard benefits from dramatic coastal conditions, complex soils shaped by the San Andreas Fault, and a climate that produces wines with remarkable freshness, structure, and longevity.

Hirsch Vineyards practices biodynamic and regenerative farming, allowing every parcel to express its distinct personality. The winery specializes in estate-grown Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, producing small-lot wines that emphasize purity, balance, and a true sense of place. Since its early years, the vineyard has also supplied grapes to many of California’s most respected wineries, helping establish its legendary reputation.
