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.

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.

A family-owned winery in Dry Creek Valley, Healdsburg, Sonoma County, California. Founded in 1979 by Swiss-born vintner Jean-Jacques Michel. In 1991, Jacques Pierre Schlumberger joined, bringing more than 400 years of winemaking heritage from Alsace, France. Today the estate grows more than 15 varietals across 62 acres of benchland vineyards, specializing in Bordeaux-style wines including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, and Zinfandel.
The vineyards sit in Wine Creek Canyon, just 17 miles from the Pacific Ocean. Benchland soils, south-facing exposures, and afternoon coastal fog create ideal conditions for slow, even ripening, making Dry Creek Valley one of California’s most celebrated appellations for Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel.
