DaVero Farms & Winery

What DaVero Farms & Winery does

DaVero Farms & Winery is a privately-held, founder-owned biodynamic and regenerative farm and winery located in Dry Creek Valley, Healdsburg, Sonoma County, California, operating across two properties — the Upper Farm (home to the Hawk Mountain Vineyard) and the 16-acre Lower Farm (Valladares Vineyard). Founded in 1982 by Ridgely Evers and co-founder Colleen McGlynn, the estate is Demeter-certified biodynamic (since 2010), CCOF-certified organic, and Slow Food Snail of Approval-recognized. The company specializes in Italian varietal wines — Sangiovese, Sagrantino, Barbera, Montepulciano, Nebbiolo, Vermentino, Fiano, Greco, Malvasia Bianca, Moscato, and Pallagrello Bianco among others — produced using native yeast fermentation, minimal sulfur, no fining or filtering, and aging in neutral oak. The farm also produces award-winning extra virgin olive oil from 4,000+ olive trees descended from an 800-year-old Tuscan grove imported to the US in 1988, plus olive oil extensions (Nuovo, Meyer Lemon), certified olive tree clones, and pantry products.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model with four revenue streams: e-commerce wine and pantry sales (davero.com), an estate tasting room with Classic Flight ($35), Pairing Experience ($55), and Bottle Service ($50 table) modules, a tiered wine club membership (Raccolta Luna — 12 wines/release with 20% discount, and Mezza Luna — 6 wines/release with 15% discount), and on-site private events including corporate retreats in nearly 2,000 sq ft of meeting space and an annual Summer Farm Festa ($125/person). Customer segments span wine enthusiasts and tourists, wine club members, corporate groups, and food-focused consumers seeking Italian-style products. Grape supply is augmented through partnerships with six like-minded regional vineyards (Testa Family, Treborce, Lost Slough, Venturi, Limit Down, Vino Farms), and the operation is supported by a small leadership team including a CFO, winemaker, farm manager, soil keeper, and hospitality/sales director. The company holds no institutional funding and remains independently owned.
