Welcome
A mountain vineyard five miles from the Pacific
Wild Hog Vineyard is a small family owned and operated winery and vineyard in the hills between Cazadero and Fort Ross on the Sonoma Coast. The owners, Daniel and Marion Schoenfeld, have transformed the rugged mountain property into a beautiful lush garden resplendent with vineyard, orchard, vegetable beds, and fragrant flowers.
We have been making wine since 1977 and opened the winery in 1990. The wine making practices follow the traditional ways: the highest quality grapes are used, the wine is aged in small oak barrels, and the complete process is carefully tended by hand from the moment the grapes arrive until they leave as bottled wine.
