Ferrari-Carano Vineyards & Winery Farms
Estate Vineyard
Ferrari-Carano’s 50-acre Estate Vineyard, certified in 2005, borders both Dry Creek and Dutcher Creek where revegetation projects are ongoing.
Magnolia Ranch Vineyard
Magnolia Ranch occupies 38 acres between West Slough and the Russian River. Channelization of the Russian River and urbanization elsewhere in the watershed is impacting West Slough, creating bank erosion and channel incision. These impacts are being addressed on the site by revegetating the banks with native tree species.
Upper Hocking Ranch Vineyard
One of three sites situated along the Russian River, where bank erosion is a common problem. Natural measures are used to control and stabilize the banks, and site managers are working to eradicate non-native plants such as Arundo donax from the river corridor and ditches. In 2003, Ferrari-Carano received an FFF award for Exceptional Actions and Dedication to Environmental Conservation.
Lazy Creek Vineyards
This site encompasses 40 acres of organically farmed vineyards, originally planted in 1973 on a 90-acre ranch north of Philo and south of Hendy Woods in the northern end of Anderson Valley. The land was tended by a family who farmed it organically since 1999, managing the land to conserve water and prevent soil erosion. Recently it has come under the management of Ferrari -Carano.
Lower Hocking Ranch Vineyard
One of three sites situated along the Russian River, where bank erosion is a common problem. Natural measures are used to control and stabilize the banks, and site managers are working to eradicate non-native plants such as Arundo donax from the river corridor and ditches. In 2003, Ferrari-Carano received an FFF award for Exceptional Actions and Dedication to Environmental Conservation.
