The Legacy of Deering Ranch

At the heart of Deering Ranch is a story of heritage, passion, and the pursuit of winemaking excellence. Founded by Todd and Blair Maus, the ranch embodies a deep-rooted legacy that combines centuries of farming tradition with a profound love for viticulture. Located in the fertile lands of Sonoma County, Deering is not just a wine program; it's a continuation of a family story that spans over two hundred years and several generations.

Todd and Blair embarked on their journey in 2005 when they purchased a property adorned with ancient vine Zinfandel, marking the beginning of Deering. The choice of location was inspired by Todd’s ancestral lineage of farmers who migrated from Austria to Colorado in the mid-1800s, bringing with them a profound respect for the land. Blair’s heritage contributed equally to the ranch’s foundation, tracing back to William Deering, an innovator in farming equipment and the patriarch of a family that valued agricultural excellence and innovation.

The Mauses’ vision for Deering Ranch was clear from the start: to produce wines that not only reflect the unique terroir of their estate but also honor the family’s long-standing tradition of farming and appreciation for fine wine. With a focus on small-batch production, the ranch specializes in a selection of varietals, including Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Rosé, each crafted with meticulous care from grape to bottle.

Sustainability and environmental stewardship are at the core of Deering Ranch’s philosophy. The Mauses are committed to organic farming practices, ensuring that their cultivation methods enrich the soil and protect the local ecosystem. This dedication extends to the winery’s operations, where each vintage is produced with the aim of achieving balance, elegance, and complexity. Deering Ranch is more than a winery; it’s a testament to the enduring bond between land and family. Through the Deering Circle, Todd and Blair invite wine enthusiasts to share in their journey, to celebrate the moments that matter with wines that are a true expression of Sonoma County’s rich viticultural heritage.
