Welcome!
The winemaking at Woodenhead is pure and simple or, if you will, Burgundian done California-style. Our wine is handcrafted from a hard labor of love in tune to the natural rhythm of the land, the water, the air, and the seasons. No mechanical pumping is employed. Inoculated yeast and malolactic cultures, hand punching, basket pressing, French oak, and California fruit is what you get. Small and unique lots are our goal, ultra premium wine is the result.

A very informative article on Burt Williams (Nik's mentor) was written up in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL by Jay McInerney on Friday, November 30th. A great read! Plus, HE LOVED OUR PINOT!

On Saturday, December 22nd, 2012, we lost a member of the Woodenhead family, Yarrow Lubbe. She was a happy soul, with many friends and many interests. Her kindness, energy and enthusiasm for life will be deeply missed. The tasting room shined with her at work, may her star always burn bright.
From this Earth she does pass
Into God’s arms and the Heavens alas
We will surely miss
So we send her this farewell kiss
From all of us at Woodenhead
