Old World Winery

Old World Winery is one of the rare California estates that can trace its vines back to the 1890s, its biodynamic farming back more than two decades, and its natural winemaking philosophy back to a grandfather's cellar. Darek Trowbridge is neither a trend follower nor a boutique newcomer; he is a fourth-generation steward of some of Russian River Valley's oldest planted ground.

Darek Trowbridge is the great-grandson of Giuseppe Martinelli, who began growing grapes in California's Russian River Valley in the nineteenth century. After earning a degree in viticulture and enology from Fresno State and completing a Master's degree in winemaking in 1998, Trowbridge founded Old World Winery on River Road in Fulton, Sonoma County. His approach from the start was to return to the methods his family practiced before the era of industrial winemaking, stripping away additives and manipulation and trusting the fruit and the place.
