Weatherborne Wine Corp.

Weatherborne Wine Corp. is a family-owned winery based in Anderson Valley, Mendocino County, California. The winery produces limited-production wines from organic grapes grown in both Anderson Valley AVA and Mendocino AVA. Their minimalist approach to winemaking emphasizes whole-cluster fermentation, minimal new oak, and unfined/unfiltered techniques, resulting in wines with structure and balance. Weatherborne's portfolio includes Pinot Noir, Grenache, and Chenin Blanc, showcasing clean, bright fruit and good acidity. The winery values authenticity and transparency, adhering to vegetarian/vegan-friendly practices and minimal processing. Founded by Cris Carter, a UC Davis-educated winemaker with a background in viticulture, Weatherborne began in Santa Barbara's Sta. Rita Hills AVA before establishing its roots in Anderson Valley in 2017. The winery has since opened a tasting room and is rehabilitating an abandoned apple orchard to create a sustainable homestead using organic farming techniques. With a focus on craft and dedication, Weatherborne aims to produce wines that reflect the unique characteristics of each vintage, shaped by the weather conditions of each year. The winery's atmosphere is characterized as humble and unpretentious, with a strong emphasis on community engagement and connection to the land.
