Landmark Vineyards

Located in Kenwood, California, Landmark Vineyards is a wedding venue with ties to Damaris Deere Ford, the great-great-grandaughter of John Deere. Damaris was inspired by views of the Mayacamas Mountains and moved the vineyard to its present site in Sonoma Valley in 1989. In 1991, she turned the vineyard's focus to Chardonnay, producing its first flagship wine, the Overlook Chardonnay. The year 1993 saw the hiring of Helen Turley, a world-renowned enologist. Her addition to the business created what is now Landmark Vineyard's signature style. That is whole cluster grapes, fermentation by native yeast strains, and aging in French oak. Grand Detour, Landmark Vineyard's inaugural vintage of pinot noir, was named in honor of John Deere's blacksmithing site. In 2014, Overlook Pinot Noir joined the market, an achievement for well-known and respected Greg Stach. Expanding the vineyard's reach, Hop Kiln Estate was acquired in 2016, and its first Hop Kiln Estate Reserve Pinot Noir was released in 2018.
