Stave & Stone

We began as a family farm almost 100 years ago, producing apples and pears. In 2004 the orchard’s age required replacing the trees or trying something new. We grew hay for several years to add nitrogen back to the soil, as the dream of owning a vineyard and winery began to take shape. Nothing worthwhile is easy, and we had plenty of challenges along the way. We planted our first block of Pinot Noir in 2012. We’re often asked about our winery name’s origin. Obviously the “Stone” in Stave & Stone comes from the vineyard boulders. “Stave” is more complicated; the first thing to know is that our family name, Fletcher, means arrow maker. “Stave” therefore has an irresistible double definition, as it refers to a rib of a wine barrel and it can also mean an archery bow. There is a mindful significance behind everything surrounding our vineyard and winery, and we invite you to enjoy the delicious results.
