Long Meadow Ranch
Established in 1989, Long Meadow Ranch now operates a dynamic business that comprises multiple wine estates, namely Rutherford, Mayacamas and Anderson Valley. Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch in St. Helena also boasts an American farmhouse restaurant, chef’s table, outdoor café, farmers market, general store, and wine tasting bar. Lead by the Hall family, Long Meadow Ranch is a pioneer of Full Circle Farming, an organic, sustainable, integrated farming system that relies on each part of the ranch to contribute to the health of the full operation. The Hall family is currently cultivating over 2,000 acres of land that produce grapes, olives, fruits, vegetables and pasture including one of the largest folds of Highland Cattle in the U.S. In September 2018 Long Meadow Ranch acquired Stony Hill Vineyard on Spring Mountain, known since the 1950’s for producing terroir-driven, age-worthy Chardonnay with low-alcohol, beautiful acidity and minerality. From one family to the next, Long Meadow Ranch looks forward to becoming the next stewards of this iconic winery.
