Stone Edge Farm

What Stone Edge Farm does

Stone Edge Farm Estate Vineyards & Winery is a family-owned, ultra-premium estate winery founded in 2004 by Mac McQuown and his wife Leslie in Sonoma, California. The company produces limited quantities of terroir-driven wines from two estate sites: a five-acre home vineyard near Sonoma Square and the 160-acre Silver Cloud Estate on the Moon Mountain District AVA, where 18 acres are planted. Its portfolio is anchored by Cabernet Sauvignon (the flagship, with vintages stretching back to the 2004 first release and structured for 20+ years of cellaring), alongside Silver Cloud, Surround, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc, and Semillon.

The winery's technology footprint is unusual for the category: it operates an open-source Microgrid that stores energy indefinitely, supports instant access and grid export, and drives the estate to a carbon-negative footprint, complemented by more than 30 water-usage sensors with leak detection. Regenerative and organic farming has been the operating model since inception, with viticulture originally led by Phil Coturri. Proprietary brand identity is anchored by the registered Vine of Life trademark on labels, symbolizing stewardship of soil, water, air, and energy.

The business model is direct-to-consumer across four revenue streams: one-time estate wine sales, the recurring three-tier Collectors Cellar membership (Six-Bottle, Twelve-Bottle, and Twenty-Four Bottle tiers, with priority access to limited releases and library wines), curated wine tastings and estate experiences, and dining at the three-Michelin-Star and Michelin Green Star Enclos Restaurant under Chef Brian Limoges. Distribution is exclusively through the winery's own channels — website store, La Maison tasting room, Silver Cloud estate visits, and the restaurant — limited to states permitting direct wine shipment. The customer base is individual luxury consumers and dedicated wine collectors; the operating footprint has expanded to include the May 2026 La Maison Grand Opening in downtown Sonoma and international experiential extensions (a 2026 Rhône River cruise and a 2027 Emilia Romagna culinary journey). Current stewardship rests with Leslie McQuown, Morgan McQuown, and Alexa McQuown, with winemaking led by Alejandro Zimman and Chris Bowman.
