The family spent six years earning SIP (Sustainability in Practice) certification before opening the tasting room in 2008 and the production winery in 2011. Today, all estate wines are farmed exclusively by the Merrills, with select premium blocks sourced from Santa Barbara and Monterey Counties through their sister company, Mesa Vineyard Management. The winemaking program is led by Jim Shumate, a former Cal Poly pilot winery director with deep enology expertise.

  • Featured photo from Stone Manor Estate & Gardens

    Stone Manor Estate & Gardens offers event spaces for your next celebration in Malibu, California. Stone Manor, located high in the Malibu hills, is a little closer to heaven than most places, and it boasts a view that is commensurate with its close proximity to Paradise. The estate, which sits in a secluded cove at the end of its own private road, commands sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, which stretches from Catalina Island to Santa Monica Bay. Moreover, while the panoramic vista is undoubtedly something to behold, the house and grounds are equally impressive. The mansion, with its thick walls and stone façade, is reminiscent of an English manor house in its design and layout. It presides over a series of formally landscaped terraces that step down to the edge of the property and are all set against the backdrop of the sea and the sky, respectively. Ceremonies are usually held on the upper terrace, which is a large U-shaped lawn with a slate aisle running down the center. The bride makes her entrance from the house, where she can see the entire scene below from the top of a stone stairway: guests seated on the grass, a border of fiery bougainvillea and deep green hedges, and the Malibu coastline in the distance. The bride and groom exchange vows on the steps of the house.
