Croix Estate

Croix Estate is a wine producer in California’s Russian River Valley, with Kirk P. Venge as its proprietor and winemaker.

Its wines include single-vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while its vineyard work spans nearly two dozen sites from its estate vineyard in the Russian River Valley to the Pacific Coast. The estate works closely with growers on organic and sustainable farming, keeping yields low and harvesting at peak ripeness for each location. These vineyard efforts carry through to the cellar, where minimal-interference winemaking precedes final barrel aging and bottling.
