Dovecote Estate Winery is dedicated to growing and crafting wines that allow the beauty and character of our land to speak through them. Since 1990, our own-rooted vines and sandy-limestone soils have produced small quantities of intensely concentrated cool-climate Rhône fruit, with the daily marine influence slowing and extending ripening for uncommon complexity and grace. The same hands that planted the vineyard 30+ years ago still farm it today across three generations and have always called Dovecote their home. We personally hand-make all wines here at our estate with a deep respect and love for their origin, which is also our family's full-time home. Each wine is crafted as an expression of gratitude for the privilege of calling this special place ours. In their creation, it is our hope that our effort contributes to their meaning, and their meaning contribute to the lives of those we share them with.
“Great wines, great setting, great hospitality. Pretty much all you can ask for (and more). We had a large group with varying levels of wine knowledge/appreciation, and Cameron, our host, navigated every question with such grace, even going so far as to share where the bowls on the table were from after a few glasses had us feeling a little shoppy. We were particularly drawn to the meaning behind the names of the wines (genius from a brand POV it's so nice to not lead with any preconceived notions about what the wine should be like in the glass) and before we even settled down for lunch in Los Alamos a personal note and the technical sheet that accompanied our purchase were in my inbox. A must-visit, truly.”
“Just finished Drinking Dovecote 2018 estate Syrah purchased at the winery three years ago for $50, my own my is it outstanding. I knew it was good when I bought it, but it has certainly turned into an outstanding Wine. I have one more bottle that I will drink this year of 2026 it is at its perfect peak right now. Eric Awes”
“Love the peaceful countryside beauty and intimate setting. Sitting and drinking wine by the pond is idyllic. We appreciated the wealth of wine knowledge and friendly service. All the wines are fantastic, but highly recommend Mantle and Petite Sirah!”
“Loved the wine, but even more the whole experience. The tour was great on the beautiful estate directed by our knowledgable guide Johnathan. A perfect day.”
“Mike is a wealth of knowledge. A great environment with a pond. Great for white and red wine lovers both.”
