Archery Summit crafts elegant wines from our five vineyards that reflect the uniqueness of each estate.

Centuries of winemaking have proven that the best way to move grapes from bin to barrel is with the natural force of gravity. This is particularly true for the delicate, easily damaged Pinot Noir grape. We knew from the start that the building at Archery Summit would be, despite cost, a gravity flow winery. We also wanted our “home” to be simple. Designed from the ground up, actually, from below the ground, our winery integrates classic architecture and technically advanced viticulture.

Built into the hillside of our estate vineyard, the winery has five floors, two above ground and three below. Grapes received into small capacity bins, hand-sorted, and de-stemmed on the top floor travel downward one floor at a time to our fermentation hall, aging caves, and bottling area, all without character-damaging pumps. An innovative part of our 100 percent gravity-flow process is an elevator system on the lowest floor, 60 feet below the vineyard, which lifts the tanks of blended wine to barrel or bottling level. With its Mediterranean exterior and subterranean caves, the Archery Summit winery, like our wine, is an original expression of old-world aesthetics and new-world savvy.
