Ehret Winery: Handcrafted Wines from Knights Valley
Ehret Winery, rooted in family tradition, has cultivated premium Bordeaux varietals in Knights Valley since 1996. Our estate, Bavarian Lion Vineyards, spans 1,800 acres at the base of Mount St. Helena, where we blend sustainable practices with meticulous viticulture to produce handcrafted wines. Certified by the California Land Stewardship Institute, we prioritize ecological balance by preserving natural habitats and utilizing solar energy. Our winemaker, Erin Green, crafts small-lot wines that capture the unique terroir of Knights Valley, a region shaped by volcanic activity and ideal for bold varietals. We offer immersive experiences, including guided tastings and vineyard safaris, to share our passion for winemaking.

Since 2005, our family has reserved our finest grapes for the Ehret label, ensuring exceptional quality and limited production. Our commitment to excellence extends to our wine club members, who receive exclusive access to releases and personalized service. By maintaining a minimalist approach in both vineyard and cellar, we honor the land that sustains us. Our Healdsburg tasting room provides an educational journey through Knights Valleys history and our familys legacy. Through sustainable innovation and generational expertise, Ehret Winery delivers wines that reflect the nuanced character of our estate.
