Margins Wine

Margins Wine is a small, low-intervention winery based in Santa Cruz County, California, known for producing wines from underrepresented regions, vineyards, and varietals. Founded by Megan Bell in 2016 with a crowdfunding campaign, the winery focuses on organic farming practices, minimal additives during winemaking (using only SO2), and eschews temperature control, fining, or filtration. With over 20 wines produced annually, Margins Wine has gained recognition for its commitment to equity and inclusion in the wine industry through Megan's work with The Vinguard. The winery's tasting room is located in Santa Cruz, offering a unique, collaborative atmosphere that reflects Megan's idealist values and emphasis on workplace culture built on respect, support, and upward mobility. After 10 years of operation, Margins Wine has ceased production due to financial constraints, but its legacy continues through the impact it had on promoting organic farming practices, equity in the wine industry, and providing a supportive work environment.
