Ampelos Cellars
– Where the Vine Comes First
At Ampelos Cellars, everything begins with the vine. In fact, ampelos is the Greek word for vine—an ode to our deep-rooted passion for the land, the fruit, and the wine it becomes.
Our philosophy is simple: Soil. Vines. Wines. That’s the natural order of greatness. We believe that when you care for the earth, the vines thrive—and so do the wines.
We’re proud to be the first vineyard in the U.S. certified organic, sustainable, and biodynamic. Our commitment to eco-friendly, natural farming shows in every glass. No shortcuts. No chemicals. Just honest, expressive wine that tells the story of our Sta. Rita Hills vineyard.
We keep our winemaking process hands-on and low-intervention. Some wines whisper, others shout—but all of them speak of the terroir. Each vintage reflects the unique character of the land, the weather, and the thoughtful choices we make along the way.
We respect the old ways while staying open to fresh ideas. Tradition and innovation go hand in hand here. We experiment, explore, and always learn—because for us, the journey is the destination.
Whether you’re new to wine or a seasoned enthusiast, Ampelos offers an experience that’s grounded, joyful, and delicious. Come taste what sustainable winemaking is all about.
