Robert Sinskey Vineyards & Wildling Ranch

For more than three decades, Robert Sinskey Vineyards was based in the legendary Stags Leap District of the Napa Valley. In 2022, the company owners, Maria and Rob Sinskey (the son of founder Dr. Robert Sinskey, who passed away in 2015), sold its physical winery, tasting room, and 42 acres of surrounding property to the Wonderful Company, but retained its brand and vineyards.

In early 2023, the company purchased additional land in the nearby Carneros Valley, giving it 84 contiguous acres. This property was named Wildling Ranch. Here, the Sinskeys are developing a bio-diverse, regenerative agriculture enterprise that will contain orchards, a variety of crops, and pastures for raising farm animals.

The older buildings on the property (a 1906 barn, houses, workshops, art studio, offices and a prune-drying barn from the 1930s) will be restored using reclaimed and environmentally sound products like hemp insulation to create a health and efficient workplace. Animals (sheep, goats, cattle, horses and chickens) will reduce the need for mechanised farming, while improving the health and tilth of the soil.
