Eagles Nest Winery is your premium Wine Tasting experience, located in Ramona Valley AVA, San Diego County believes that caring for the land in a sustainable way for future generations will produce a premium wine of high character and quality. Because of our sustainable farming methods, our estate wines are pesticide and herbicide free because these products are not used in our vineyards.
Customers appreciate the extra effort and cost we put into our wines using organic methods in our vineyards, which brings forth the true nature and character of producing great wine. During Harvest, the grape pomace (the remains of the grape skins, seeds, and stems after the pressing process) is reintroduced into the vineyard soil adding nutrients and enriching organic matter.

Separating the wine or grape juice from the skin is termed pressing. Though after crushing most juice flows freely, Eagles Nest uses a gentle but costly bladder press rather than a more common hydraulic-ram-plate press to press our wines. Ram presses are efficient but can apply so much pressure to wine must that the seeds are crushed releasing additional tannins into the wine. The more force pressing machines apply to the wine grape must, the more tannic the wine will be. The force extracts more tannins from the stems seeds and skins.
Suppressing weeds and tilling cover crops in organic vineyards is challenging and costly. Using an heirloom breed of miniature sheep, Olde English Southdown Babydoll miniature sheep to maintain vineyard floors and the estate is an effective and a sustainable approach to vineyard maintenance. It is more costly that mechanical and or herbicide/chemical methods but significantly more environmentally friendly.

This is an exciting annual occurrence in the vineyards that marks the yearly beginning of the growing season in the early spring. Across the states diverse growing regions, the fuzzy pea-sized buds are swelling and breaking open, marking "bud break," or the start of the season for vineyards. The first fuzzy green leaves unfurl from buds that shelter then during the winter. These buds and leaves then develop into florets - the beginnings of wine grapes and clusters that will become the next Eagles Nest Winery vintage.
At Eagles Nest Winery, harvesting grapes to make our hand-crafted Award Winning Wine is the first step our estate grapes make towards the finished bottle, and the busiest time of the year at the winery!
