• Small batch wines.

    We create wines in an old-world style, with fewer than 500 cases produced from each vintage, all from vineyards we carefully tend.

  • Stewards of the Land.

    We are farmers with a reverence for the land; respectful caretakers. Nurturing the vines to produce grapes reflecting place and time.

  • Legacy Continues.

    Mike and Kara Dunn, second-generation farmers & winemakers on Howell Mountain in the eastern range of Napa Valley.

Our Napa Valley Heritage

Kara + Mike’s families have been Napa Valley grape farmers and winemakers since the 1970’s. Mike’s family started Dunn Vineyards on Howell Mountain in 1978, the same year Kara’s family began Pecota Winery in Calistoga. When Mike and Kara met, they shared similar stories of growing up in the Napa Valley of the 1970’s, a community of humble farmers.
