Ray’s Station Winery / Vintage Wine Estates
John Ray, former Army Captain and Bear Flag Republic Leader, was an early founder in what is now Northern California's Wine Country. After establishing successful vineyards throughout the region, Ray made his way up the northern stretch of the Russian River, planting some of the very first vineyards in Mendocino County, a county noted for its distinctive Pacific Ocean coastline, Redwood forests and under the canopy of those Redwoods, cannabis crops.
Little did he know that one day Mendocino County would be known as "America’s Greenest Wine Region" – in more ways than one. Ray's Station celebrates John Ray's search for exceptional terroir and his need for discovery.
