Bergin-Sipila Vineyards

At the far northern edge of Mendocino County, winemaker David Bergin and farmers John and Marbry Sipila have spent more than four decades living sustainably, tending their small vineyards in Piercy and Bell Springs and growing Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Tempranillo, and Zinfandel through organic gardening and permaculture. In these remote, rugged hills, their off‑grid, solar‑powered winery—forest‑cooled, wood‑heated, and rooted in closed‑loop farming—crafts native‑yeast, organically grown wines aged in fine oak and bottled without filtration, offering pure, unvarnished expressions of this singular landscape.
