Creating Healthy Families, One Patient at a Time
Lavender Oak Vineyard is a family-run operation that has been a long-time dream of Dean and Christi Heck. Established in 2010, our vineyard is dedicated to producing high-quality wines that are carefully crafted in small batches using organic methods. We are proud to be a sustainable and eco-friendly winery, with a focus on minimizing our impact on the environment.
Our Story
Our journey began with a close study of the soil and climate at our vineyard, which helped us determine the ideal grape varietals for our land. We discovered that a right-bank Bordeaux style red would be our signature wine, and we were convinced that this French style would be most suitable for our property. Our Estate Red Blend, as well as all of our wines, are sourced 100% from our estate vineyard, produced, aged, and bottled on site at our winery.
Our Farming Philosophy, Sustainability, & Solar Power
From the beginning, our goal has been to operate an organic, sustainable, dry-farmed vineyard. This means no scheduled or human-powered irrigation, incorporation of beneficial insects for pest control, and of course, no pesticides or weed killers. Additionally, we cultivate a natural cover crop and practice no-till farming. Our winery is 100% solar powered, reducing our water consumption and providing Earth-friendly approaches while improving the quality of our wines.
