Estate Story

The Michel-Schlumberger Story

In 1979, Swiss-born vintner Jean-Jacques Michel planted the first vines here, in the western hills of Dry Creek Valley, on benchland soil that faces south and catches the morning sun before the Pacific fog rolls in each afternoon. In 1991, Jacques Pierre Schlumberger joined the estate, carrying more than 400 years of winemaking heritage from Alsace, France. Together they built something that still stands: a 100-acre estate winery, entirely self-contained, growing over 15 varietals on the same land where it all began.

We haven’t changed the address. We haven’t changed the philosophy. We’ve just kept getting better at listening to what this valley wants to grow.

Tasting Experience

Come see it for yourself

Wine tastes different when you’re standing where the grapes grew. At Michel Schlumberger, tastings aren’t just pours, they’re introductions to the land, the vines, and the people who tend them.

Choose from estate tasting, chocolate pairing, estate tour and estate picnic. All tastings are by appointment. Reservations available daily 10:30am to 3:00pm.

Sustainability

We take the land seriously

In 2016, we installed the largest solar energy system in Dry Creek Valley. 672 panels, 215 kilowatts. In a typical year, we generate more power than we use. The surplus goes back to the grid. Over its lifetime, the system will offset more than 5,000 tons of CO₂. But sustainability here isn’t just solar. It’s in how we farm, managing each block individually, selecting clones for the specific terrain, trellising to match the elevation. The land does the work. We try not to get in the way.
