Idle Cellars wines are not only crafted for their character and balance, but also for the values behind them. From organically farmed vineyards to sustainable materials and thoughtful production choices, we believe that great wine should respect both the environment and the people who enjoy it.

Once upon a wine...
“On the porch at sunset, a glass of wine next to the Adirondack chair, the sound of a friend’s voice comes from half a world away.
It is suppertime here, midnight there.
Sharing jokes, memories, and smiles, taking a moment to indulge the elixir, the two come together across latitude and longitude, the distance shrinking into an infinite loop of laughter and love.”
Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
“Watching the storm roll in front of the valley, the jazz music grooved with the echoing sounds from outside. We made ourselves comfortable for the lightening show, glasses of deep red wine in hand. A taste followed each thunderclap.”
Merlot 2014
“She melted more deeply into him as he lit the candle, setting her first sunset picnic aglow. The evening air washed over their rectangle stage and she reclined into his embrace.”
Chardonnay 2019
“The last box was unloaded off of the moving truck. They surveyed their new home, with all of the transferred items from an old life. The transition was a natural one. Before the unpacking was to begin, a toast was in order. The special bottle was removed from the box marked “fragile”. Cork screw was dug out from another. Glasses were poured full as we saluted our upcoming endeavor.”
