Long Meadow Ranch Winery (LMR) is situated in the Mayacamas mountains of Napa Valley, providing a serene escape from the busy Highway 29. Established in 1989 by Ted and Laddie Hall, the winery has a rich agricultural history dating back to the 1870s. The Halls, who are passionate about wine, have diversified their operations to include cattle, poultry, olive oil, and fresh produce, alongside their wine production. LMR spans approximately 2,000 acres across three properties, including a tasting room and restaurant in St. Helena, a winery in the Mayacamas mountains, and vineyards in Anderson Valley. The winery is known for its organic farming practices and holistic approach to agriculture. The primary winery building, constructed from rammed earth, was designed by William Turnbull and is notable for its temperature-regulating thick walls. Visitors to LMR can enjoy tastings that include a tour of the olive mill and wine cave. The winery produces small-lot wines, emphasizing food-friendly characteristics and excellent acidity. Notable offerings include a range of whites and reds, with a focus on varietal purity and unique flavor profiles. The winery also holds back older vintages for sale, enhancing the tasting experience.
