Peter Michael Winery is a Sonoma County-based beverage producer focused on crafting terroir-driven wines from estate vineyards on volcanic ridges in Knights Valley. Founded in 1982 by Sir Peter and Lady Michael, the winery emphasizes traditional winemaking, mountain-site viticulture, and limited production across Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon blends. The operation reflects influences from Burgundy and Bordeaux and aims for wines that endure over time, produced with a sustainability focus that includes Fish Friendly Farming and state certification programs. Today, under the direction of second-generation Paul Michael and his wife Emily, the winery maintains its estate-focused approach while stewarding its hillside vineyards and winemaking philosophy. A recent leadership change in global sales and management is noted in industry updates, underscoring ongoing organizational development. The winery operates in the broader California wine sector, aligning with peers in the Knights Valley and Sonoma regions in terms of production style and market positioning.
