Benziger Family Vineyards

It's been more than two decades since Mike and Mary Benziger first drove up Sonoma Mountain and saw the overgrown ranch that would become Benziger Family Winery. They purchased the land with the help of Mike's father, Bruno Benziger, a wine and spirits importer from New York. A year later, Bruno and his wife Helen, along with their two youngest children, moved west to help start the winery. Mike's younger brothers, Bob, Joe and Jerry Benziger, would soon follow. Today, more than two-dozen Benzigers live on and around the estate winery in Sonoma County. The first Benziger Family wines were produced to critical acclaim in 1981. In 1982, the family introduced the Glen Ellen brand and with it a new category of good wines at affordable prices, dubbed "the fighting varietal." In 1993, the Benzigers sold their popular Glen Ellen brand to pursue the family's common goal: To craft wines that authentically express the individual vineyards from which they are made, with integrity and an enduring respect for the land.
