LaRocca Vineyards was born in 1984 when Philip and Judy began farming 110 acres of unkept Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot wine grapes, on Doe Mill Ridge in Forest Ranch, California. We transformed the vineyard to a thriving, successful certified organic operation. LaRocca Vineyards is located at 2600 feet elevation on the lower southern slopes of Mount Lassen, where the soil is rich in minerals. The water source is pure, straight from the snow melt of Mt. Lassen. Combining this amazing location and Philip's master organic growing skills, we have sold grapes to such icons as Parducci Family Winery and Fetzer Vineyards, while learning the art of organic wine making.
