Our Steelhead wines come from the world-renowned Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma, California and are a tribute to Quivira's restoration of the Steelhead habitat in Wine Creek - a tributary of the Dry Creek River - that runs through its estate. Steelhead are an important part of California´s ecosystem and are a good indicator of water health because they require cool, clean water in order to thrive. Working with Trout Unlimited and state and university organizations, our extensive restoration of the spawning grounds within the creek bed have led to the return of the Steelhead each spring. Now neighboring landowners inspired by Quivira’s example are doing the same.

This project has led to a unique partnership between Trout Unlimited, Quivira Vineyards and Steelhead Wines. The result? Steelhead, the first wine brand dedicated to fisheries conservation. A portion of the proceeds from every bottle of Steelhead Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel and Steelhead Dry Creek Valley Sauvignon Blanc sold help fund TU's creek restoration projects. Enjoy these delicious wines and raise your glass to healthier creeks throughout North America! [Read more.]
