At Topel Winery, the art of making wine begins within 15 minutes after the grapes are harvested, with a "field crush" right in the vineyard. The grapes are then transported immediately to the winery to begin their transformation into wine.

For more than 30 years, Mark and Donnis have been hands-on growers and winemakers, committing themselves to the preservation of 160 acres of pristine, sacred land, 25 acres of which are planted to organic Estate mountain vineyards on Duncan Peak in southern Mendocino County.

Set up your romantic or exploratory base in the heart of Sonoma County in comfort, adventure and wine making, bid today!
