Three Acres of
Producing Syrah Vines

The Yorkville Highlands wine appellation sits in a quiet valley between Cloverdale and the Mendocino coast — one of Northern California's most distinctive wine-growing regions, and home to The Highlands Estate.

Three acres of producing Syrah vines surround the property on all sides. The wine country setting that couples travel hours to find is simply what this place is.

In spring, the vines are bright green and new. In summer, heavy with fruit. In fall, the leaves turn gold and rust in the weeks after harvest. In every season, they provide a backdrop that photographs with depth and authenticity in every direction.
