DORVAL Wines & Vineyard Ranches – ORGANIC FARMED

A place of majestic beauty, immense power and rugged terrain. Our founder’s were very meticulous about the location of their vineyard sites. After nearly six years of searching they found what they were looking for; three sites located in the San Joaquin Valley foothills, high elevations, frequent evening winds and within close proximity.

Andrew is a true viticulturists and the winery is the venue for he and Rebecca to display their work, their passion and their immense quality as people. The Kerr’s Vineyard Ranches span across 227 acres in diverse soils with rolling topographies much like the hills of Paso Robles and Tuscany Italy.

DORVAL ESTATE WINERY VINEYARDS – “Site One” 40 acres

The DORVAL Estate Winery is a landmark in the San Juaquin Valley. Developed by an Italian family in the 1990’s. The first varietal planted was Charbono along with the famous Cork Oak Trees and the mature Italian Cypress Trees enjoyed by our guests today.

DORVAL has kept the rare one acre variety on the estate and plans on developing more over the coming years. As DORVAL continues to harvest these special vines our customers will enjoy a rare part of history. Charbono is categorized as a scarce wine grape as their is less than 7,000 acres planted for production in the world and we have a small piece of that.

The Estate Vineyard also has two standout varietals; Petite Sirah and Cabernet Franc. Both of which have been recognized for making high 90 point wines.

In March of 2024 the Estate planted an additional 6 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon (169 clone), Cabernet Sauvignon (30 clone) and Petit Verdot.

The Estate Vineyard sits at approximately 740 feet elevation. With a light canyon breeze our grapes receive an evening chill down during the growing season which helps them recover from hot days. Our estate vines are trained a few different ways based on vigor and varietal type but all of them are pruned to produce maximum quality and far less yield.

DORVAL MOUNTAIN RANCH – “Site Three” – 146 acres

The majestic DORVAL Mountain Ranch is a portal to an oasis starting at 1,100 ft elevation and peaking at 1,400 ft. Surrounded by rugged natural beauty;  Andrew has described it as Narnia or a private national park. Upon entering the gates you are greeted by an endless portrait of nature with blue oak, pine, wild lavender, wild flowers, manzanita, rolling hills and abstract rock formations.  This terrain is for world class wine.  The mountain ranch is currently in development and we are planting 30 acres over the next two seasons.

100% of our vineyards are managed with organic practices, all of our equipment is sanitized prior to entering any vine row and we check on our vines daily to ensure they are thriving. Over the next 3-4 years we will be working towards Organic certifications.
